WNDR4500 set up with AT&T NVG510 How?
I have a Netgear WNDR4500 and i would like to set it up with the router/modem that AT&T U-verse installed which is a motorola NVG510. How do i configure the NVG510 to connect to my WNDR4500 so that i can extend the Wifi range and everything goes through my WNDR4500. Please include detailed instructions.
I also am having trouble accessing the www.routerlogin.net page that netgear says to go to in order to access the setting on my WNDR4500. any ideas why i cant access? I've even tried the 192.168.0.1 or whatever it was.
Thanks

- Here are the details:
On the NVG510:
1. Under "Home Network->Subnets & DHCP":
- Device IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.254 (this is the default)
- DHCPv4 Start Address: 192.168.1.1
- DHCPv4 End Address: 192.168.1.1
(This tells the NVG510 to only allocate one address to a device connected to it)
2. Under "Home Network->Wireless"
- Wireless Operation: Off
(Since you will be using your own WiFi router)
3. Under "Firewall->IP Passthrough"
- Allocation Mode: Passthrough
- Passthrough Mode: DHCPS-fixed
- Passthrough Fixed MAC Address:
(You can find your home router MAC address on the home router's status page.
Make sure to enter the WAN MAC address).
4. Under "Home Network->Configuration", change IPv6 to "Off", unless you know how to configure IPv6 to work with your router. This will save you some issues in the future.

On the Home Router
1. Make sure the home router allocates DHCP addresses on the LAN on a different range than 192.168.1.xxx. For example, 192.168.2.xxx will work (with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0) or 10.0.0.1 will work (with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0)2.
2. Tell the router to use a fixed WAN IP address (to not use DHCP to get an IP address from the NVG510). Then use the address from the NVG510 configuration page under "Broadband->Broadband IPv4 Address" as the WAN IP address, 255.255.0.0 as the subnet mask, the address under "Broadband->Gateway IPv4 Address" as the gateway address and the DNS server addresses from question #4 above as the primary and secondary addresses.
Note: from my experience, Google's DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) perform better in the SF Bay Area.
***Does this look right? I added this in-case anyone else is looking however, this has not been confirmed yet on my end...*** - My question is the reverse. I am trying to connect a WNDR4000 to a NVG510. The NVG510 is in my home with both LAN and WAN connections. The WNDR4000 is is my office in a separate structure 30 feet away from from house, The WNDR4000 is connected to the NVG510 by a CAT6 cable.
The problem is that the devices connected to the WNDR4000 have IP addresses in the 10.0.0.1 range. I am wanting to connect all devices in both my house and office to the same network. I want to be able to map the USB drive on the WNDR4000 to the computers in the house.
What do I need to do? - My question is the reverse. I want to connect a WNDR4000 that is in my office to the NVG510 in my home. I have them connected from the output LAN of the NVG510 to the LAN input of the WNDR4000.
The problem is the devices connected to the WNDR4000 have different IP addresses (in the 10.0.01 range).
I want to connect all devices in both my house and office to the same network and be able to see each other. I also want to connect an external hard drive to the WNDR4000 and map it to all my PC's.
What do I need to do?
