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...
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.
