I Want to set up my DIR-655 to be ideal for gaming with my uverse gateway NVG599

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under the router case.
• Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

• Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask. Link>Checking MTU Values
• For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.
• If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>Double NAT and How NAT Works. Call the ISP and ask to see if the ISP modem can be bridged. To tell if the modem is bridged or not, look at the routers web page, Status/Device Info/Wan Section, if there is a 192.168.0.# address in the WAN IP address field, then the modem is not bridged. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ. Also check the routers DHCP IP address maybe conflicting with the ISP modems IP address of 192.168.0.1. Check to see if this is the same on the ISP modem, and if modem can't be bridged, change the DIR router to 192.168.1.1 or .0.254.

Wow still have shipping FW...Give the suggestion a try to see if you can get the ISP modem bridged. If that can't be done, use the DMZ on the ISP modem for your DIR-655 router.

Found this for the preceding model:

Not sure if this applies to your model or not...

Are you wanting to use the DIR router as a router or just as a wireless access point?
If you have a PC connected to the ISP modem, whats the gateway IP address that you see on the PC. Will be listed under IP address and subnet mask addresses. PC IP address will be fine if you can't find the gateway address.
You can do a IPCONFIG /all in a command line box.

192.168.1.1? or 192.168.0.1?
