when i try logging into the router, it gets stuck on a screen that says something along the lines of "checking network connection, access to this page may interfere with something something"

Try lowring the MTU.. also see if adjusting the WAN port speed makes a difference.. If you're still experiencing the same issue, you'll have to bridge your modem.


If you connect your PC directly to your modem what IP address are you pulling when you do an ipconfig from the command prompt?

i will have to take a look at modifying these settings when i get home since i'm still in my office.

what speeds should i try adjusting the WAN port speed to?  where in the configurations do i set the MTU?  i haven't connected to my modem directly in a while.  if i recall, when i did, the modem assigned an ip address to me.

WAN port speed: ADVANCED > ADVANCED NETWORK section and try 100Mbps

MTU: SETUP > INTERNET > Manual Internet Connection Options

When you get home, connect to the modem, open command prompt, do an ipconfig and show me what your IP address you're getting.
