Can someone help me set up my router please?

I have a Edimax BR-6624 and I have no idea how to set it up.

I have a connection from my O2 ADSL modem on WAN1 and a conenction from my virgin media modem on WAN2.

As you can see in these screen shots there is an error, I can't seem to search on Newsleecher

If you need and MAC address's or anything just let me know what I need and where I need to put them. I haven't done much to it yet.

Thanks for any help

I think VM is static and O2 is Dynamic.

VM is just a modem, O2 is a router

should I still be able to get into the O2 box as normal?

If I try to set it as static ip it asks for a DNS address.

Also I tried to change the LAN IP as you said and I get this message.

LAN IP is in same IP segment with WAN "Any IP" will be disable

Thebug said:
have you reset the modem after installing the router?

No, I just plugged in the new router to the existing equipment.

After turning them off I had no internet at all even though I could view web pages before.

Newsleecher was giving me this error, I'm not sure if its because of the router

Error:
Unable to resolve SuperSearch address

Reason:

Socket Error Message:

connet: WSocketResolveHost: Cannot convert host address
'ssgen.getmyip.com' .Error#11004

I looked at how to run the O2box in bridge mode and it looks complicated, I was thinking about buying a Sky branded Netgear, would it be a better option?

Thanks

Thanks for that, when doing it manually how do I telnet into the router exactly?

I'm not sure if the config file worked, after I confirm it I get a page cannot be displayed message, any way I can check its worked?

I got putty but I have no idea how to log in with it.

I'll have a look for a guide

OK I tried to login using 192.168.1.254 as the ip, telnet and then SuperUser and the password for that but putty just closes straight away, what am I doing wrong?

A copy and paste got me in. I followed the instructions and now it doesn't work at all, but I now have the router working on the VM connection and I'm going to order a Sky Netgear modem.
