Hi there

I’m having trouble setting up my brothers Telstraclear cable connection to work with a wireless router. The setup is the standard Motorola cable modem and a Belkin F5D8236 router then wired and wireless computers attached from the router. The problem I’m having is getting the router to connect to the internet through the cable modem. Whenever I connect it up and enter the static IP address, default gateway and dns servers I get no connection. From the PC I can ping the Belkin router but no further than that, I can’t ping telstraclears default gate way. At first I thought the internet maybe down, but I tried plugging the modem directly into the PC and set ipconfig and the internet worked fine, so it seems the modem functions fine. So I took the router home and tried it on my Telstraclear cable connection, set it up, worked perfect. So I am a little stumped with what to do, the only thing I can think of is to try a different router with it, but the router works fine with mine so can’t see why there would be any difference. So I am stumped.

Things I have tried to solve the problem

Try different Ethernet cable

Check, double check and triple check ip address , default gateway and dns.

Reset router to default configuration then reconfigure.

Things I need to try

Try a different Router to see if that works, however the modem works with a pc so don’t see what the difference would be.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
