PAP2T vs RT31P2

[sr98user]

It should be from the WRT LAN to RT WAN. Otherwise you will have problems with multiple DHCP servers running on the LAN.

How did you connect the WRT to the RT? From the WRT LAN, did you connect to the RT WAN or RT LAN?

Thanks,

One cable from prot1 on WRT54GS to the "internet" port on the RT31P2. You can use anyone port of the 4 ports (WRT54GS only has 4 ports). But you MUST use the "internet" port on the RT31P2. It is also important you have to assign correct IP on the RT31P2 or leave the DHCP enable.

Thanks. I had it set up that way, and I wasn't getting Phone 1 lit up. The RT administration was only available when a computer was plugged into the RT.

I found this on a vonage forum (who also uses an RT):
http://www.vonage-forum.com/ftopic4206.html

In there, it states:
The best thing to do if you are already using a router is to disable the vonage adaptor's ability to function as a router and just use it as a switch. To accomplish this you can follow the below directions.

1. Disable NAT and DCHP on the vonage adaptor.
2. From the line coming out of your router plug into lan jack 1 in the back of the vonage router.
2. If you have a computer plugged into the vonage adaptor plug it into lan jack 2 on the vonage adaptor.
3. Take the lan jack 3 on the vonage adaptor and plug it into the wan jack of the vonage adaptor.

This will give you the functionality of VOIP by turning the vonage adaptor into just another switch on your network.


So, I've done that.

My WRT is 172.20.0.1
I gave the RT a LAN address of 172.20.0.5
I gave the RT a WAN address of 172.20.0.3 (via static DHCP on the WRT)
I turned off DHCP on the RT
I turned off NAT on the RT
I plugged a wire from the WRT to the RT LAN
I plugged a wire from the RT LAN to the RT WAN

I can access the RT from a wireless connect on the WRT.
In the Status/Router and Status/Local Network pages on the RT, all are as expected.
On the front of the RT, LAN1, LAN3, and WAN (Internet) lights are lit.

I still do not have Phone 1 lit.

Like you said: LAN from your existing router to WAN on the Voipo router.

To access the RT31P2 from its WAN port...

Hook a computer to one of its LAN ports.

Go to http://192.168.15.1/Management.htm

Enable if its not already, Remote Administration:

Leave the Administration Port at 8080

On the WAN side of the router... log in with the IP of your RT31P2 WAN port...

http://(rt31p2 ip):8080




Ive found the pap2 has the dtmf falsing but have never had it on the RT31P2 yet...

Thanks for that suggestion.

I think I need my head examined. Maybe it's because I woke up early this morning and not thinking straight.

I changed my setup (again).

Cable modem -> WRT -> RT

WRT is 172.20.0.1
RT is 192.168.15.1

Connected WRT LAN to RT WAN

On the Internet Setup page, should I have "Obtain IP automatically"? If so, should it get a 172.20.0.x address?

Access to your WRT router:
Click on the status tab (the right most on the top), and then "Local network", and then click on the "DHCP Client Table" button.

Post here, tell us what you get?

Yes it would.

Up to you whether or not you use DHCP but finding the unit to sign into would be easier if it were static...

It is not going to work based on what the IPs.

Change you RT IP to 172.20.0.118. It should work.

192.168.15.1 is default gateway of the RT. It is not in the network of the IP 172.20.0.1 belongs to.

I'm running Tomato, so I don't know what info you're asking for.

Do you want the Static DHCP list, or the list of connected devices?
