DSL SBC Yahoo: which wireless router better

Hi,

I have yahoo-SBC DSL with Simens Speadstream 4100 modem (which appartenly has a built-in router function).
I tried DLink-D524 wireless router and almost killed everybody, as it doesn't work good. Finally D-Link support told me that ti's know problem with SBC DSL as they both use 192.168.0.1 as default getway. Before that they blaimed my wi-fi card, but it works perferct on other wireless networks.
Also poked around TCP-IP connection setting in my computer, DSN and etc.

When I'm running DSL wizard it tells me to put Modem into BRidge mode, I did, and lost connection for good.

I'm about to give up, and swtich to another router.
Do you think it's time to do so? Heard good stories about Lynksys on SBC..

If you have a router and modem its usually easiest to set the modem up as a bridge and let the router's internet port get the public IP address. Do note though that some types of DSL implimentation may not work with this (as you may have found out).

In that case set the modem internal (LAN) IP to 192.168.0.1, the router's internet IP to 192.168.0.2 and the router's LAN IP to 192.168.1.1. You may also need to set the internet gateway setting on the router to 192.168.0.1 so it knows to use the modem in order to reach the internet.

If you use the same IP range on both sides of a router it cannot perform its duties as a router and will not work, which I believe is what has happened as most SOHO devices seem to ship with similar factory confiugrations. Hope this helps!
