FYI your problem was that you were trying to assign the modem's IP to the router which should obviously not work. Now you're assigning the router an unused IP from the modem's subnet and so it's working. _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.

someone told me to use eth1 instead vlan1 or vlan2.
if i Telnet to the router and ifconfig i see that eth1 carries the modem Mac number so i suppose i had to use eth1 instead of vlan.
i only changed eth1 to vlan2 and rebooted the router and Voila it worked _________________ Regards,

The WAN port varies on different hardware but nvram get wan_ifname will always give the correct interface which is why the wiki uses it. However, this is beside my original point...
The only problem with your original ifconfig command was that you were assigning the modem IP to the router.
Quote:
ifconfig `nvram get wan_ifname`:0 192.168.2.254 netmask 255.255.255.0
Should have been:
ifconfig `nvram get wan_ifname`:0 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.

But whenever I try to access the modem, on 4.2 I am getting looped back to the router interface displaying at 4.2 which is clearly wrong. Any ideas? Anything I need to flush?
