You can find screenshots and instructions here: Īnd specifically how to set the IP Address of your DLink: has instructions for extending wireless networks, but it's the same theory as extending wired networks. So to summarize in more specific intsructions:ġ) Find an unused IP Address in the DHCP range, as well as the Subnet Mask on the Technicolor modem/router, write them down.Ģ) Disconnect the DLink from the Technicolor.ģ) Log into the DLink from your PC, turn off DHCP, assign it the IP Address and Subnet Mask you wrote down in step 1, reboot the router.Ĥ) Hook up the DLink back to the Technicolor, this time via just plain old LAN ports on both ends, do NOT plug it into the WAN/Internet port on either end.ĥ) Reboot or release/renew IP addresses for devices on the DLink side of your network. Note that any computers/devices connected to the DLink will likely need to be rebooted OR if you have access to a console, releasing and renewing your IP Address will work too. Theoretically, on the DLink, if you turn off DHCP so that it gets assigned an IP rather than doing the assigning, and hook it up to your Technicolor modem/router as if it were just another computer (ie: ethernet cable from LAN port on Technicolor to LAN port on DLink, ignoring the DLinks WAN/Internet port), that shoudl create the bridge. If you choose to follow these instructions, you do so at your own risk. WARNING: I've never actually done this myself, so I'll be honest, I only know the theory, not the practice. Any reason your phones connect to the Technicolor instead of the DLink?īut we should, in theory, just have to turn your DLink into a bridge to make both routers play nice together. I notice the DLink DIR-300 should come with a wireless access point as well.
