We have Globe Lines as our Internet Provider here in Cavite and I tried to make our house to have a wireless connection, at first I have a hard time connecting my newly purchased LinkSys Wireless-G Home Router to our existing modem from Globe { Siemens SE260 ADSL2 + modem } but thru Googling I would like to thank this instruction for teaching me how to connect it properly. I copied the instruction for ease to my readers.
1) Connect your laptop/PC to the linksys router via RJ45 cable.
2) Go to the router’s admin page via 192.168.1.1 and change the default IP to 192.168.1.2 (this is assuming that your Siemens modem’s gateway is 192.168.1.1 which is usually the case…).
3) Make sure that the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and then disable DHCP. Save the settings.
4) Connect the modem to the router via one of the LAN ports and not thru the WAN port(internet port). This is important. This makes the modem and the router bridged and they are now in 1 subnet.
5) Reboot everything from PC to router to modem. The wireless router should now be connected to the modem.
Instruction above will help a lot to those who will purchase the same Router mentioned above. I bought the router at 1950 if in case you are interested. I will post the unboxing pics later.
thanks for this! it works fast!
@globe sucks,
Good to know it also works for you
[…] Linksys Wireless G Home Router is a lot different. In Linksys you need to reconfigure the DSL settings to let it work. I am now […]
Linksys is not very good in my opinion. It kept cutting out and I switched to Netgear and all of my problems stopped.
@ReTwurl Short URL, I’d have to disagree on this. Linksys has been working for me 24hrs a day, 7 days a week, every month and it never broke down. It’s quality of connection is very good too.

@ReTwurl Short URL,
I have bee using Linksys here and abroad and I have not experienced those problem. What model do you have ?
I really recommend linksys routers. I’ve been using it since I was in the US up until now in the Philippines. I never turn off my router, it is on 24 hours a day, be it hot or cold and my router still works fine.

@Phaw,
Yup, I also use linksys in saudi that is why I implemented the same here in Philippines. The set up is different from my linksys in saudi.
And thanks to your post i easily install it. 🙂 Nice interview with Jehz

I guess G is fine unless you have a very big house! 🙂
Phaws last blog post..Do You Want to be a Movie Star?
@Phaw,
I think I agree with this based on my initial use of this wifi
@Phaw, how about signal obstruction due to walls? for example the router is set on the first floor, and the laptop is on the second floor, would the reception the same that of cable?
thanks in advance
jayls last blog post..Catching Up
@jayl, when I was in the US, I used to use my laptop 25-50 meters away in another house and I still got connected.
While in the Philippines, I can use my laptop on the 2nd floor when my router is at the ground floor.
Phaws last blog post..2nd Phawville Design
@Phaw, @dexter – thanks for the replies. So linksys “G” it is.

Just to share my experience. My Linksys is located at the ground floor and I am browsing and replying to you now at the first floor. And I can say no problem at all..
As of this time we are 3 connected to the net and no problem at all
Great walkthrough dexter. Again, welcome home.
My problem is which “wireless router to buy?” is “G” enough to power up wireless connection inside our house? Im not really sure what to buy..
