wif modems
ok first off i have a c3700 modem router combo and a guy on the ipcam site told me this is junk. what i need to find out is what wifi modem has any type of vpn built into them. this guy tells me netg...
If your trying to connect a external router to the C3700, this alreay has a built in router. To connect a external router to the C3700, you would first need to put the C3700 into modem only mode. Not sure if it's the same as my C7800, however mine has a NAT Mode menu option. When enabled the router portion of the modem is enabled. If you DISABLE NAT mode, then this disabled the router portion of the modem and makes it a modem only.
Review the user manual for this feature. If you can get the C3700 into modem only mode, then you can connect the external router.
The reason for the problem is that the IP address between the two are in conflict and maybe using the same LAN IP address. Putting the C3700 into modem mode will fix this.
