Windstream says router is interfering with dsl modem
I signed up with windstream dsl internet service yesterday. I have a netgear n150 wnr1000 router and a speed stream 4200 dsl modem. Everything was fine up until an hour ago. Service was really slow. T...
Then, your Speedstream is functioning as a router. You will have to pick one of the two options I provided in my first reply.
It looks like your Speedstream 4200 is actually a combination modem and router. Most home networks should only have one device functioning as a router.
You should decide whether you want to use the router in the Speedstream or the router in the WNR1000.
- To use the Speedstream as a router, you will want to set up the WNR1000 as an Access Point. Log into the WNR1000, disable the DHCP server and connect one of the WNR1000 LAN ports to the Speedstream LAN port.
- To use the WNR1000 as a router, log into the Speedstream and enable bridge mode. Connect the WNR1000 WAN port to Speedstream LAN port. Note, you may lose the ability to log into the Speedstream once it's in bridge mode. If you ever wish to disable bridge mode, you will have to reset it to factory defaults using the reset button (push for 4 seconds, according to the manual).
