Title: HELP SET UP MY 4300
Post by: flippiff on October 06, 2008, 04:50:31 PM

Hi all, just wondering if anyone can help me out setup my dgl 4300 to work well with my comcast cable modem. I am currently running one hard wired computer and also a xbox360 hard wired with a wireless laptop,  is there any specific way i should have my set up done right? Will me having dsl with router in the house also effect my connection on my cable using this router will there be any interference from the two?

The only way it'll affect each other is IF you 1) Use the same channel, and 2) Have the same wireless SSID.

If your other connection is let's say on a default channel of 11, then you would want to set your D-Link DGL-4300 on channel 11 manually, and set it to something else.  Use a different method of encryption also, and a different passphrase.  This will definitely assure that it won't overlap or cause any problems.

1. Make sure the SSID's are different.

2. Make sure the 2 routers are NOT CLOSE TO EACHOTHER

You will get a ton of interference.

Set one router to broadcast on channel 1, and the other to channel 11.
