Question about SMC Barricade SMC7404WBRA (SMC7404WBRA EU) Router
Hello, I have a SMC7904WBRA2 ADSL Modem/Router combo. Recently I changed ISPs, and now I use a cable modem. I'd like to know how do I set the combo to work as a router only, and how I configure it. If I just plug my new cable modem on the router, only one of the computers get internet access, not the others, and I don't know why. The Cable Modem is a Motorola SBV5120.
Looks like your device does not support playing router for cable internet. Would recommend you get an actual router, or alternately if you have a computer with two network adaptors you could plug one into cable modem, plug other in to LAN side of router, then configure turn Windows Internet Connection service, will need to disable the DHCP service on the router. I highly recommend you get a real cable/dsl router to do this tho. Linksys 54g series has been one of my favorites.

upgraded WRT54G V2.0 to latest LinkSys firmware (WRYTG54V4.0_4. 21.1_US_code.bin) Troubles began.
Could ping WAN and RF sides of Motorola SB4100, but not anything beyond that. Upgraded to Motorola SBV5120, but problem persisted. Googled dd-WRT and found that the latest Linksys firmware had some problems.
Followed posted procedure to replace LinkSys VxWorks firmware with dd-WRT V23-SP2 firmware and problems with internet connectivity went away. Read & understand the process. It is not for the faint of heart. Be prepared to toss the box and buy another.
