scv modem and router problemwe just installed Starhub Maxonline 1500 service, but the modem and router still do not work.

if i connect the pc directly to the cable modem, the pc can connect to internet, but if through router, it cannot.

we checked for the problem and cannot resolve it.

one guy found that the output for the cable modem is 10/100 MB while for the router the input of WAP port is only 10 MB. Will this cause problem? anyone knows?[SIGG+ (6-1 20:50, Long long ago)] [ 传统版 | sForum ][登录后回复]1楼

from what I understoodthere should be no problem, because 10/100M is downward compatible with 10M(and also SCV is only 1.5M maximum theoretically).

Why do not you read the Router menu see whether there is anything you can configure.(for most of the router, even you can not connect to outside, you computer will be able to find the router, between computer you will be able to communicate, and access the router configuration menu, for instance, SMC router normally use 192.168.123.254 as the configuration interface, downthere you will be able to find related information, e.g., the DNS that SCV passed you and so on.)

hope can help you. why not tell us your router Model number so that the problem can be more specific?

(引用 SIGG+:Our Router isSMC 8-port 10/100 Mbps Broadbrand Router Serial number is SMC 7008ABR. Thanx a lot.)"RTDM"RTDM is the acronym often silently used by company support staff when answering the phone calls.

RTMD = read that damn manual :P

i believe SMC must have supplied a manual to either quick-start you or there should be some step-by-step guide.[SmellsLikeTeenSpirit (6-1 21:29, Long long ago)] [ 传统版 | sForum ][登录后回复]4楼

Change another cable (CAT 5 UTP cable or higher standard, say, CAT 6) if you can not make it work;

besides that, check the cable you used is direct cable instead of cross cable(your WAN point should use direct cable connect to cable modem)

How to check? see the sequence of the colors at the two ends of the cable,(normally it is [white Orange],[white Blue][white Green]][white Brown]), if they are the same, it is direct cable, if one side is like that, the other side the orage and green color are shifted, it is cross cable, otherwise it is nothing....

other than that, I see no problem.[好多了 (6-1 21:43, Long long ago)] [ 传统版 | sForum ][登录后回复]5楼

(引用 SIGG+:Our Router isSMC 8-port 10/100 Mbps Broadbrand Router Serial number is SMC 7008ABR. Thanx a lot.)enable DHCP. use dynamic on hte WAN side.and copy your MAC address to the router.

then it should be ok.[JiangZM (6-2 11:45, Long long ago)] [ 传统版 | sForum ][登录后回复]6楼
