Question : Hooking Up Router to Cable Modem
|
|
I always have trouble trying to hook up a wifi router to an internet connection. I use linksys and the directions never seen to be complete enough for my feeble mind. My question is on the drop down list, what type of connection (tcp, etc etc etc)(I don't have the list in front of me now--sorry) is used when you are hooking up to a cable modem. In Dallas Texas using what used to be Comcast and now is Warner Cable.

Answer : Hooking Up Router to Cable Modem

If you are using cable internet (time warner) choose the DHCP option. If you happen to be using dsl (ie, bell south, embark) use the ppoe and provide user and password. If you were previously using a pc directly connected to the modem, you can clone that pc's mac address to the router. (This option should be avalible in router config). Try the dhcp option and all should be well.
