Hi. sorry if this has been asked elsewhere.
The wireless range on my superhub isn't great and i've been having lots of dropouts on my iphone. I have an old(ish) linksys wag200g adsl router/modem which has better range and is more stable which I'm using but i'm not sure if I've connected it properly.
I put it in a mode called 'bridged' (does this mean it's acting as an access point or if not, what does it mean?) and I turned DHCP off (on the linksys). Then I just plugged it in (ethernet to ethernet - it doesn't have a wan port). It's working, but is this the best way to connect it up?? Are there any disadvantages to having this setup as oppsoed to buying a cable router?
I tried turning modem mode on but the linksys wouldn't work with it.
Also I can't now log into the linksys in the usual way by typing 192.168.1.1 so any ideas how to log in to that?
cheers
