Hi

As some you may have seen in other posts i have just got myself a new AM200 & WRT54GL so basically what i want to know is what is the best way to plug this lot in.

should i connect every think up strait way or modem first and configure that then plug the router in and do a firmware upgrade to tomato then plug in printer xbox 360 and so on ?

also i see that there is a setup cd for the router so should i use this before i install tomato or will it work after i have done the firmware upgrade to tomato ?

oh and i will be connecting a 5 port switch as well also a Linksys (EZXS55W)

My ISP is Be*

OK so its not gone to plan, i am not sure what setting to put the on modem as some of them i haven't seen while using the netgear.

can someone please tell me what i should have setup for be* ISP and what settings i should have for connecting it to the WRT54GL

from what i can see on the Be* forum be* do not use PPPoA and PPPoE which is what i was trying to use Oops

will try again tomorrow

thanks for those links guy but i had seen them before and was ready to use the script but at the moment i can't even get on the net when i plug into the router.

from the modem i can connect ok but if i then plug from the modem to the router i get nothing windows tells me the network diagnostics pinged the remote host but did not receive a response, so i must have something setup wrong.

as you can tell i am not to good at this network lark this modem/router is somethings else when you have been using a netgear router.

if someone would please tell me where i am going wrong.
