If I plug this unit into a Belkin N150 Wireless Router do I have to change the IP address on my router to 192.168.2.1 also?

No, depending on your service provider and how your modem is configured your router will get a public IP from your ISP or it will get a DHCP lease from the modem itself. The first option is ideal.

very involved answer. I don't recall if the DSL modem defaults to 192.168.1.1 or what. The bottom line is you have to put the DSL modem on it's own subnet (192.168.1.1) and the router on another subnet (192.168.2.1) or vice versus. The router should find the DSL modem as a device and configure itself accordingly...to get to the internet. I tried this DSL modem and it failed on me several times in a week of use. So I sent it back. Even tried two of them - same results.

Actually. I would not buy this modem as it became a problem and I had to buy another brand.

If you're using the Zyxel in modem/router mode, the IP between the Zyxel and the Belkin is different than the IP of the LAN created by the Belkin for your client devices.And you have 2 options:you have 2 options:1) You can activate (I don't remember if that's the default) the modem's DHCP Server and set the Belkin to Auto IP2) You can set an static address for the Belkin like 192.168.1.2So, you can have the IP 192.168.2.1 for the Zyxel's "Internet" interface and 10.0.0.1 for you Home Network.

single setup, single location or you have to reconfigure. The accounts etc (Belkin) etc say the same (as it uses their site for access), but you would need to reset the wifi at the location you are going to.Since there is no local NAT - that is, no IP addresses to deal with, you could move it without reconfiguration IF the sites share a wifi SSID and credentials.

Yes. Here are the steps in the correct order to do this with the stock firmware. As other have said, internet access may take a while after setup is complete. 1) Plug in the router and turn on the wifi (there is a button on the router for this) 2) Connect to the the network being broadcast from the TP-link router (The password is on the bottom of the router) 3) Open a browser and type 192.168.0.1 into the address bar 4) Click on DHCP and disable it, then click "save" at the bottom 5) If you have more than one of these routers or your main routers IP address is 192.168.0.1, click on Network then LAN and change the IP address of the router to some different IP like 192.168.2 click save, reconnect to the TP-Link network and log back into the router by using the new IP address. 6) Click on Wireless then Security and change the password for the TP-link network to the same password as the network you are trying to extend. Click save, reconnect to the network with the new password and log in to the router again. 7) Click wireless again. 8) Change the SSID to the same SSID as the network you want to extend. 9) Click the Check box next to "enable WDS bridging" 10) Click on "survey" then select the network you want to extend 11) enter the password for that network toward the bottom of the page 12) Click save 13) click OK or agree to the error that will popup about the channel being set to auto. Agreeing to this will let the router set the channel to whatever channel the main router is using. 14) The router should disconnect you and you should reconnect to the network you wanted to extend but with better signal strength. It might take a minute for internet access or you might have to restart your laptop and other devices. This was from memory so it should be close but might not be perfect. The order of the steps does matter and is different than TP-Links FAQ answer.

You will need to have access to the 192.168.1.x to configure it initially. Default settings for the cube is 192.168.1.254:8000

The unit communicates with the wireless router. It's intended use is to hardwire A/V components into the wifi network. Works flawlessly with my Belkin wifi router.

You need to plug it in and configure the unit to connect with your router (fairly simple) but my experience is that these units do not work that well. I returned mine. Good luck!

As stated by Rob, your router should automatically assign an IP address. The only thing you should need to do is enter your security key needed to access your WiFi. If you don't know it, look at the bottom of your router.

In my condo I currently see ~ 10 different network/ routers from my neighbors and my router is working fine. One option to avoid any interference with other routers is to change the default network channel of the router or experiment with turning on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz network.

with your systems security. Your security system will detect the hardware and the software for the Belkin and will ask you to set the security level. I chose the password/code that came with the belkin and followed my AVG security softwares suggestions on firewalls and use. I have no issues with this router or any security intrusions.

No. I just looked through all of the settings and did not see a place to change the MAC address of the router anywhere.

Yes, but if you're existing router is also a wireless router you should disable that function in the existing router's settings.

Yes, but it will require some trickery, the unit currently "listens" on port 80. So you would have to set your router up to forward port 80 to the IP address of the device on your network. You can change the port the device "listens" on, for example if you did not want to forward port 80 you change the listen port to 8282 (you can pick whatever you want the higher the better) and then forward all requests from port 8282 from the outside to go to the device ip address internally. This assumes you know your external ip address. SO you would just go to your browser on whatever device you are using and type http://yourexternalIPaddress:8282. This will take you to the device"s webpage.

Yes you can assign a different IP address to each nic. But if it's a windows machine I would only assign a gateway to the one with Internet access unless you know how to edit the windows routing table. Dual gateways never goes well in windows

If I remember right there was a selection for bridged mode in the setup wizard. The other thing I changed was I turned off NAT and let my WIFI router handle NAT. The only other concern is that the modem will still use 192.168.1.1 as a LAN port address. You want a different address range for your WIFI router that the modem.

Hey! What works best is to just manually set your IP. I went through all of the restarts, scoured the Internet. Pick your IP....192.168.1.xxx. Your gateway and primary dns are 192.168.1.1. Im pretty good at getting tech gear running and this player just didn't play nice with the wireless!

A year ago I made several calls to Netgear's tech support about the Repeater feature. Not a single person there had any idea what I was talking about. I can't blame them though as Netgear doesn't include anything in the manual...so I doubt they have any info to train their own people. What you want is a Belkin F5D7132 Universal Repeater. It's basically an access point with a static IP on your local network, that is authenticated with your main router's WEP. A chore to setup so you should understand the concepts of how routers and IPs work or you will be pulling out your hair. I have one on my home theater and it works fine at 54mbps.

You can assign a static IP on your devices manually. Just make sure it's within the IP range of the router.
