Still unable to access the WGT624 so changing the ip is not possible.
Hi Patrick, in an earlier post you wrote:

We need to clarify your arrangement a little. Note: dhcpd = the server daemon, assingns LAN client IP addresses dhcpcd = the client daemon, requests IP leases from the dhcp server Does your cable modem have dhcp enabled? IOW, does it serve IP addresses to your clients *through* the RP114 (the RP114 built-in dhcp server is off?) Also, either router can probably be configured as follows: a) a client to the modem's built-in routing capability and dhcp server. In this arrangement, the router acts like a switch, passing client IP lease requests to the modem for service. With this arrangement, the modem's LAN-facing IP is the default gateway and DNS. b) (bridged?) with the modem's internal router/dhcp server turned off. With this arrangement, the *router* serves IPs via dhcp instead of the modem and *it's* LAN-facing IP acts as the default gateway and default DNS. Maybe I'm very confused, but it seems this must be a simple thing... an oversight... I think it'll help to "zoom in" on these details for a closer look. regards, - Carl
