R6400 and DM200 setup
Hi, I have just bought a DM200 model and an R6400 router. It is not dlear at all how to set together and I have not managed to get internet into the R6400 Does the ADSL setting happen on ...
Hi All,
Thank you for your assistance.You were all helpful. The theme was set the modem into bridge (Modem) mode and configure the settings in the router with ISP username passowrd etc...
This would have been correct but I have not accepted any solution becuase of one thing that blocked it and the whole community needs to know. AC1750 does not have PPPoA. Even with latest firmware update. Confirmed by Netgear. What ????? Anyway no matter all your posts my ISP must have PPPoA so it never did work.
It is possible to leave the modem in modem+router mode, log in on the modem, say to the AC1750 that my ISP does not require a login, and then the modem will pass data to the AC1750. The problem here is you have double NAT double DHCP etc...
Fine, turn off the DHCP on one of them for example.... I tried that a lot but there were a lot of error mesages saying the IP on the router has been reset to 192.168.1.1 to avoid a clash with the ISP. In this case the ISP 'it' saw was the modem. The modem was passing a private IP to the router and that was stuck on 192.168.1.1, my whole network with many fixed IP's is on 192.168.2.x so I didn't really want to fiddle with that.So long story short is that it didn't work terribly well at all. the root cause of all of the pain was no PPPoA in the AC1750 (R6400) - really poor netgear, considering it's quite highly priced.
Thanks all.

Agree with changing the DM200 to modem mode - however, the DSL username/password has no function anymore. At this point, it's requires to terminate (and configure) the DSL connection (ie. PPPoE) on the router. Typically, this requires a login plus some more configuration - most DSL providers don't bring a transprarent LAN connection as we have ie form a Cable modem.
schumaku you are right. the configuration i suggested is if the modem is set to modem/router mode
ardvaaark for MODEM ONLY mode - the username and password will now be on the R6400.
steps:
1. Connect your PC to the DM200.
2. Access DM200 UI and set it to Modem only (as on the pic as posted).
3. Connect the the DM200 to the WAN port of R6400.
4. Access R6400 UI and configure Internet Settings (with username and password from ISP).
Hope this helps u.
I do have a DM200 with an R8500.
DM200 is with Modem+router mode without any issues.
