I have an all in 1 comcast modem with D-Link DIR-655 connected to it. So, I have two wireless routers near each other. Should I bridge mode comcast?

I didn't, I set the new one to the higher frequncy hooked it up to my switch and rebooted the cable.

From where I was at, it didn't work for me. You should go on the Comcast website and take a look at the router compatibilities. Be careful out there because they don't work in some areas. Good luck!

I did not try this connection and cannot answer this question. However, I am wondering why you would want to plug one router to another. It may make more sense to set up the second router as an extender to have a longer range. I plugged my router directly into the cable modem. The range for this router is much better than the previous one. The two bigger antennas really help.

This product does not have an integrated modem, if that is your question. It will still function as router and switch if you pair it with a dedicated modem for your internet provider, but it is not an all in one gateway device for Comcast. If that is what you want try something listed on the Comcast website. http://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/internet/comcast-supported-routers-gateways-adapters/

Not true. All it does is listen for 802.11g a signals and rebroadcasts it. However, a better option would be to buy a Linksys WRT54GL and install the DD-WRT firmware on it. You can then configure it to operate in bridge, repeater, or router mode. See http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge. The result will cost less, but do more. :-)

tl;dr:I had the exact same problem. Just call your service provider and ask them to send a reset signal to the modem. Then restart your wifi router.Longer answer: When you self-activate with your own computer connected to the modem, it puts the modem in static IP mode. At least that was the info I got from my Netgear wireless router while troubleshooting. When Comcast reset the modem, it started working in dynamic IP mode handing out an IP and DNS server addresses to my router.

By default this set of antennas is in bridge mode. So the subnet is the same at the source as the destination. I don't see a problem to connect a repeater directly. I connected a switch and a wireless access point at the destination given the fact that my dhcp setup is handled at the source.

Its just a modem - you'll have to get a separate router. Unlike what comcast provides which is a dual purpose modem/router.

I can't say that I do. I have a D-link DIR 820L router and never lose connection. The router is only about 3 feet away from it also so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Yes you do the ez bridge transmits the Internet provider service from one ant to the other. You still need another router on the receiving end

Yes, you will need two of them. You are exactly right one for modem and the other wherever you want. I will say it is better than wireless but don't expect blazing speeds.

you can use all 4 port as switch, u r going 2 b connected 2 the router via wireless, also on bridge mode

Not surprised, the one I had started dropping the network connection completely and had to be restarted to get it back. After hours on the phone with dlink, they blamed my ISP. I called my ISP and blamed dlink, through all this I made several attempts to bridge this router with my modem/router, to no avail. I gave up and got switch and used my ISP's wireless connection via the modem/router.

I have a Zoom wifi as the main connection and a Linksys WRE54G as the Extender, but for some reason the Linksys is hindering the connection. When the extender is disconnected we have a stronger signal. Does anyone know why this would happen? I'm thinking the extender is just not working at all. We've been fighting to fix this for weeks...

Unfortunately not. I returned the router and bought a Technicolor model from another supplier for $169. same as the model Comcast is renting.

It's a router, not a modem. The modem is what connects to your coaxial cable coming from the provider. The modem then has another slot for an Ethernet cable that goes on to your router. The modem is also what you're probably thinking of.All routers work with all cable providers because they're only meant to relay the service signal your modem is receiving.Look up the difference between a modem and a router if you want to learn more.

Yes, if using in Ethernet Bridge mode, they will each either accept a static IP address, or will get one from your local DHCP server. They'll scan the wireless channels until they find the AP (or you can specify the AP to use) of your network.
