If the IP of the Router is the same as the Modem it might indicate that
the modem is actually a Modem/Router combo.
If this is the case, you should connect the Wireless Router as a switch
with an access point.

Good Morning all, I have a problem that I am hoping you guys can help me
with.

My Mother-in-law has a DSL through SBC in Michigan. She wants to have a
wireless network set up. The reason she wants it, is so when the
grandchildren stay over night, they can hook up to the internet with
their PSP's and Wireless Gaming Consoles (XBOX 360).

So I suggested her getting a wireless setup. Now I have the wireless
setup at home, and my system is running top notch. I have an XBOX 360
wireless, 2 PSP's and 3 desktop computers and a wireless printer hooked
up to a D-Link 524 router. Also I have a Cable connection hooked up for
the internet.

She purchased a E Home Network EH100 and an EH102 wireless adapter for a
second PC. Now the problem that I am having is, when I hooked up the
router to the DSL modem. I had everything working before I left for the
day. Later in the evening she called me and said she could not connect to
the internet. It said she had little or no connectivity. So last night I
went over to look at the setup, and found out the IP address to log on as
an admin for the router is the same as the IP address for the DSL Modem.

What do I need to do to possibly change the IP address for the Router to
log on to the admin account. IP address is 192.168.0.1 - I want to get
her computer setup so the grandkids can play on the computer and play
their gaming units. A buddy of mine stated to me he had a wireless
system on his DSL (same company). They told him that he could not have
the wireless setup, and had to have a wired setup. If this is true-- then
why do the companies sell or advertise DSL and Cable modem set-up?

p.s. by the way, she purchased the router and Adapter from Comp USA.


thanks for your help, Jamie
