Look with in the EA3500s status pages for the WAN IP address when it's connected to the ISP modem. You may need to change teh EA3500s router IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.0.1 as the 192.168.1.1 maybe conflicting with the ISP modems address. Check the ISP modems default addressing scheme. What ever WAN IP address the 3500 gets from the ISP modem, input this address into the modems DMZ.
I found a thread where someone have been trying to get the ISPs router to work as a modem only. Im gonna try some of the things they mention and see what result I can get, however even if it works to get a signal from my new router it would not be a permanent solution if the "router login" stays the old one, which im afraid it will.
What is the Mfr and model of this ISP modem?
If I do have to buy a new modem, what should I get? I know you told me to ask my ISP what they support as they dont support everything, however I would still like to know if it matters that the router and modem "match" performance wise... I mean would if I got a cheap cheap cheap modem, would the EA3500 not be able to use its full performance because of a bad modem?
Just depends on what they support first off. Only thing I recommend is that you get a modem with out a built in router.
