Wireless router connect direct to Dynex?

[arrbeejay]

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere. I have the following set-up:

1. Cable Modem
=> 2. Dynex Hub (splits signal to: 3, below; Apple TV, and internet-connected bluray player)
=> 3. LinkSys Router (RT31P2) with 2 phone ports (connects to a desktop computer, a phone, and 4, below)
=> 4. Netgear WGR614 Wireless router

Since the wireless router is last in line, the signal is not very strong. I tried connecting the Netgear directly to the Dynex, but even though there seemed to be a signal, I wasn't able to connect to the wireless router with my laptop.

There's probably somethig basic that I need to do in order to make this work. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Sorry? Seems like your post was garbled. And I don't know what the implications of being "double NAT" are; please explain. Thanks!

google DOUBLE NAT.. router back to back is simply meaning of it


what is the cable modem model

[arrbeejay]

The cable modem is an "Arris".

Is this telephone capable arris modem?

Actual model of arris

[arrbeejay]

Yes, it's a phone-capable modem; I'm not currently using the cable VoIP capability, however. (We have service from Vonage.) The exact model of the cable modem is Arris TM 802. Thanks!

Then you can not place switch directly behind arris modem

Arris modem-> router ---> switch
