Follow @Mrk26 IP address options for modem and router and change routers DHCP to start at 10

I have already configured all my devices to have static ip’s starting at 2, if i follow @Mrk26 options i will have to change all devices IP’s.

I suppose the big question is whether the HG612 is staying in place for the foreseeable future or are you going to plug back in the DrayTek 130 ?

Think i will go back to one cable and access modem direct to lan2 via laptop.

You can try to give modem last IP in the pool, or assign static but in the same IP range as router.

I was going to ask, what is the plan.

Not sure, maybe stick with the HG612, or ditch both and research buying something else that is stable and i can access without too much faffing like the draytek.

Bigger Picture:

The HG612 does seem to be working for you, alas it only has a dual core 400 GHz processor, so a little low, I got bored of my HG612 a yesterday and plugged in my DSL-AC88U which has dual core 1Ghz processor (Broadcom) and seems good for NAT etc. alas this modem is discontinued, but the DSL Processor it contain (BCM 63138) work very well for me.

 

For yourself, I think until fibre hits your area, you are a little stuck with what you got

Remove the second cable and give it an hour

Edit: or try https://router.asus.com
