Linksys on StarHub
Linksys on StarHub
Has anyone tried to use a Linksys router with StarHub as I am trying to setup a Linksys WRT54G2 router but it can't find the internet?

Yes I am as at first I used the already conected cable to the DLink router.Strong Eagle wrote:Are you plugged into the correct spot on the router? There is only one. And you should NOT be using a crossover cable for this connection.
I thought about the crossover issue so I used the cable that came with the router after the new router did not work with the original one.
Yes no problem and when I revert back to using my StarHub supplied DLink router everything works.Strong Eagle wrote:Can you connect to the internet directly from your computer?
The reason I want to change is so I can get the correct port forwarding setup on the Linksys router as I want to use IPCam which is also Linksys.

after i RTFM online, try the following...
connect normal network cable from starhub dlink to your linksys. your linksys should have 5-port at the back. look for the INTERNET port (yellow coloured) and connect up the network cable. check on the front of the linksys for the internet icon which look like planet saturn. if the connection is successful from the starhub dlink, the LED should be flashing green.
on a PC, connect another network cable to the 4-port on your linksys. open your internet browser and on the URL, goto 192.168.1.1. a password request will pop-up. leave the username blank and enter admin as the password. you should now go into the linksys configuration page. check the linksys is set to auto config for DHCP. check the online status if the linksys is getting a IP address from the dlink.
if still doesnt work, power cycle the dlink first, and then the linksys. if still still doesnt work, factory reset the linksys.
btw, have you consider using dynamic dns to use with your IP camera?

Durian,
I am using www.dyndns.com for a DDNS server as I have used it before with the same camera while I was in Spain (before comeing here). I used all the same settings but the StarHub DLink router seems not to like the Linksys IPCam.
I read through the manual I got on the CD with the router but not the one online so thanks for finding that information and I will give it a try.
Friday night and I am messing with a blooming IPCam, sod it I am going on the lash, more tomorrow.

Its been a while since i messed with linksys
but my first guess would be your modem is on a different IP than your router
FInd out what the modem is using for example 192.168.0.1 ( by connect straight to it with no router) then disconnect your modem and connect your new router and in the config screen ( either HTML or set up disk ) make sure the router is on the same subnet for example 192.168.0.2 .
Can;t quite remember whether your gateway for other things is then the router or the modem IP but somebody will pipe up
Cheers
