I have an usb modem and an ethernet router. Is there a way to bridge the router and modem so I can use wireless router to connect to internet on other cpu's?
btw......that configuration makes for a great firewall possibility which will protect your wireless router from intrusion, and April 1 is rapidly approaching with it's threatened conficker viral attack.

is modem in bridge mode? sounds like you try wireless first. the router would then do the dhcp to get you on the net I would hook modem to router to tower. you may also want to power cycle them.
plug the usb modem into usb slot of pc as normal. Bridge the connection between the internet connection and ethernet router connection in network page. Set router to ip add etc and it should share net access while pc is turned on atleast.
1. Please ensure your wireless connection is switched ON 2. Your wireless router should be working in bridge mode. 3. Connect the ethernet port of the wireless Router to the Modem and then try accessing.
if you only have usb connection in your modem, internet on the zyxel router will not work since it's using ethernet connection. in order for your zyxel device to work with tiscali, you will need a cable/dsl router that has ethernet connection as well. you can contact tiscali if they can provide you with that kind of modem.
It is possible but it may not work as a router (2 wire 270). The 2wired router only has a phone port and ethernet/usb for computer connection. So if you will connect the roadrunner modem to the 2wired, you can connect it to the ethernet port of the 2wire, but the 2 wire will not function as a router any more. It will work just like a wireless bridge. This one setup that you can.
there is a link in the motorola UI that allows it to be put in "bridged mode" so you can configure the router. however, before you do this, i suggest you have to make the motorola (is it 2100?) modem work with your computer, connect this modem to your computer using ethernet connection, access the UI (192.168.1.254), type your user id & password in the login page, then connect. make sure that you are able to connect to the internet. then access the UI again, click on "advanced" choose PPP location. in the PPP location page, click on bridged mode, that will restart the modem automatically, & you will notice the modem's internet light will turn off. then you can connect the ativa router to this modem using manufacturer's instructions. you can now login to the router's page and make the necessary changes.
Just plug the cable modem ethernet into the input to your router and you will be fine. Just remember, if you decide you want to make any changes to your router settings through your browser, make sure you hook up an ethernet line from your laptop to the router before making any changes. The reason for this is if you make a change in security settings on your router while wireless, the router will reboot and if your laptop did have the settings changed in it, you can be locked out. Not that you can't get back in, but it is a pain to have to do.
