must use ISP router, how to make wl700ge work on this

[chlubb]

I just got Verizon FIOS (cable type setup) for home and was using the WL700ge before with cable modem. Now I must use Verizons router and its a pain to change their IP config because its tied into the digital cable as well.
So how do I make the wl700ge a stand alone server as an accessory on their router while keeping the ftp capabilities?

When i first connected it, the local ip's were conflciting, as 192.168.1.1 and my computer would default to the ASUS with no net, blocking verizons.

I need to reconfigure the asus to not be used as a router, only for its ftp and hd server capabilities as a mapped drive.

Thanks,

Put it in AP mode with IP address 192.168.1.2 with gateway details set to 192.168.1.1.

i changed those settings, however to 192.168.1.10, and now i cannot access the web interface on the device. I have connected it to my verizon router yet it still doesnt function nor is it seen at that ip above.

any thoughts would be great.

Is it responding to pings?

[chlubb]

no, not at that IP
and my Verizon router does not show the device as being connected nor anything listed at the 1.10 ip.

If you change to a static ip address, I think you have to unplug the wl700ge for the ip address change to take affect. I remember a message displayed on the IP config saying that had to be done.

You shouldn't see anything on the verizon router as its hasn't given out a DHCP address.

See attached with how mine is setup...........

LK,
Thanks. I will review that except that I cannot access the web interface since changing it from Gateway to AP yesterday.
I believe I need to do a button reset, do you concur?

Is it 100% certain that I will not lose HD data while doing this?


TIA,
Chris

If you've lost contact with the wl700ge, use the asus device discovery utility. It has saved me a number of times.

Regrading the reset. All I can say is that I've never lost files from a reset or a firmware upgrade. That has been my personal experience.

is it possible to use my asus router, now as an AP, as a switch also to handle more network connections?
I am 1 short on my verizon router, can this pass through the Asus?

Yes, wireless and wired.

[chlubb]

how do i setup the asus to work as a pass through switch to the verizon router? i need to connect my networked printer in a LAN slot on the asus.

Right now the Asus is connected LAN to LAN with the verizon.

Thanks,
