wireless
09-13-2018, 09:57 PM
After 15-20 years of a Telus dsl line everything has worked very well. Last week I went to fibre optic and a t3200m modem was installed. While I can call out to the world at large, I now cannot call home from outside of my local network.
I don't need or even want the wireless router of the t3200m, but rather just to use my existing linksys router that is configured as wanted. It seems that the modem is handing my router a WAN address a local address in the 192.168.1. range. My LAN is in 192.168.100 range.
How do I get the modem to send my public IP to my router as the WAN?
I called Telus support, and to say they were less than helpful is being generous. I believe my salvation may lie with the port bridge(currently disabled) and/or perhaps I need to disable the wireless which is enabled at the moment. I am hesitant of blindly making changes to the modem, thus I am asking for advice. I am able to get to the modem settings using an ipad.
Thanks
