So I decided against the TP Link and have got the Netgear router. I've managed to flash Gargoyle 1.5.5 onto it so that seems all well and good. Trouble is I cant seem to connect my telecom Thomson TG585 v7 modem to the Netgear router and from there to my laptop

In the tomson / home network / devices I can see  "WNDR3700v2" connected at port one. the IP is 122.57.3. 137. There is also a "dsldevice" at 192.168.1.254 (thats new) and a "com-mid1" at 192.168.1.68 (no idea where this has come from).

I took Ragnors advice and did the  "assign public ip address..." but looks like I've messed something up somewhere.

Anyone with any ideas?

OK, I pulled out my old thomson to test and it seems to be working with pretty much the setup you want (though I have gargoyle on a TP-Link - should be pretty much the same though)

1) plug your computer into gargoyle device without anything else plugged into it. By default I think this will give you gargoyle at 192.168.1.1.

2) Access gargoyle, login and under connection -> dhcp ensure it is enabled and set the range to 100-200. save this.

3) under connection->basic set router IP to 192.168.51.1 (just happens to be what I've got mine set to) then save this.

4) Wait a while and your computer should get an address in the range 192.168.51.100-200 then access gargoyle at 192.168.51.1 - make sure it loads the admin screen ok

5) Now plug gargoyle router into port 1 and your computer into port 4 on the thomson - computer should get an IP like 192.168.1.X

6) access thomson via 192.168.1.254

7) on home network->devices in thomson admin select "Assign the public IP address of a connection to a device"

8) select your router - mine just showed as unknown-XX:XX:XX:XX (the mac address of the router)

9) Save this and you'll get a warning about releasing and renewing IP

10) swap your computer back to one of the LAN ports on the gargoyle router

11) your computer should now get an IP in the range 192.168.51.100-200

12) access gargoyle at 192.168.51.1

13) goto connection basic and you should see the gargoyle router currently has a WAN address like 192.168.1.X

14) click the "renew lease now" under WAN and refresh the page (a few times - F5 in most browsers) you should see the WAN address go blank for a while and then it should get your public IP address (something that's not 192.168.X.X)

15) test your internet connection... :D
