Hi all,
I finally made it back to BA, and am having trouble setting up my wireless network. I brought a Netgear RangeMax router from the States, updated the firmware to the latest world version, and am still having to reboot the Fibertel modem and my router several times a day. I understand that Fibertel provides static IP addresses, so I plugged directly into the cable modem and wrote down what appeared to be my static IP(v4), subnet mask, router (a.k.a. gateway?) addresses, as well as primary and secondary DNS addresses. I input all of this data into my router, which I set up for a static IP service, and couldn't get it to work.
Now here's the kicker: even though Fibertel is supposed to be a static ISP service, when I set the router to accept dynamic IP and DNS addresses, it works; for an hour or two anyway. Then I have to repeat the process of logging into my router and refreshing the system by fetching new IP and DNS addresses.
My native-speaking girlfriend has been on the phone with Fibertel twice now trying to get confirmation of our IP, subnet mask, router/gateway and DNS addresses, all to no avail.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? I'd really appreciate your guidance. Thanks all!
