Comments on: Connecting new Aussie ADSL2 modem with wireless German DSL modem http://planetcola.com/2009-03-26/connecting-new-aussie-adsl2-modem-with-wireless-german-dsl-modem Sat, 04 Feb 2012 03:59:44 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: MissyCola http://planetcola.com/2009-03-26/connecting-new-aussie-adsl2-modem-with-wireless-german-dsl-modem#comment-3840 MissyCola Fri, 27 Mar 2009 05:05:12 +0000 http://planetcola.com/?p=1208#comment-3840 No luck so far. :( I think I am not doing the right thing. Do I need to set the Fritzbox as DSL modem (Internet>Zugangsdaten>Betriebsart)? Or do I leave all settings in the Fritzbox as they were when acting as wireless router? My idea: 1) plugging in the Aussie modem to the main ADSL wall outlet (phone line) (=receiving fast internet with the new modem) 2) connecting aussie modem with German Fritzbox via Ethernet cable, plugged in DSL port in Fritzbox (to route the internet from Aussie modem to wireless Fritzbox). note: the DSL lamp on my Fritzbox won't blink at all. :( the signal doesn't come through... If I knew what settings I have to change...in both modems. There are far too many setting possibilities in the D-Link (aussie) modem... No luck so far. :( I think I am not doing the right thing.

It's not too hard. Get the new DSL modem to connect first. Then use port 1 of the Fritzbox to connect to the modem (you need to change settings). Depending on your setup you need to set connection details in the Fritzbox or the new modem. You'll be alright Mr Fricklerin. Hehe…good luck. It’s not too hard.

Now that I've talked to the iinet customer support (they were fantastic as always!) I heard there was this uppercase/lowercase problem. Embarrassing! :angel: Finally, after fiddling with the new modem, it can connect to the internet. I am writing this comment here with a speed of almost 7000 kb/s. :queen: (remember, before 1000) Now I need to connect this fast modem with my old but wireless modem, to use the advantage of surfing wireless (and other advantage setting that only my lovely Fritzbox can do). @Sven: how do you connect the two modems, via ethernet (LAN), right? Port 1? My D-Link modem has so many settings...do I have to tick PPOE pass through? I will try some things out now...will be back in a bit.
