Totally NOOB on my Home Networking setup

pearldiver — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 18:24:41 +0800

need some help here to correctly setup my home wired/wireless network....(im totally NOOB when comes to networking)

here are few things that i own:
1. linksys ADSL modem - AM300 - Annex A
2. linksys wireless-G router - WRT54GL v1.1
3. 1 PC - XP Pro Sevice Pack3 (wired)
4. 1 Netbook - Vista (wireless)

here my setup....
-phone line connected to my modem
-network cable connected my modem to my router
-network cable connected my router to my PC
-run CD provided with the router to enter the setup, but cant save the setup...if not mistaken error msg - cant find internet connection (or something like that).
-access 192.168.1.1 to find out it's now my router's IP (used to be my modem's IP). from there i enterd my username & passwrd, and select PPPoE. other than that i just leave it at default setting.
-now both my PC & netbook connected to internet without any problem.

i know im connected now but still wondering just how to set up my network properly...
i know there are lots of topics almost similar to this...but i still need my own thread so easier for me to understand & learn at my own pace!

at the moment i need some guides how to:
1. set my modem & router to have their own IP.
eg. 192.168.1.1 for my modem ; 192.168.1.2 for my router

2. to secure my wireless network.
-plan to use WPA Personal mode.
-for WPA Algorithms, which one to use - TKIP or AES ?
-WPA Shared Key - my password right?
-Group key Renewal - what is this? default setting is 3600 seconds

3. Wireless Channel - default is on channel 11 - 2.462Ghz
- if use other channel (1-13 channel available to choose from) - any difference on speed, etc?

other Qs might come later...
thanks

PC reboot every time connect to internet

pearldiver — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 14:03:41 +0800

FYI, im using network card (PCI) n 4 port modem. im sure my modem is not the reason for this probm as my friend pc (connect to modem's 2nd port without any probm). my pc will reboot every time i online. The DSL Activity LED blinking even i dont connect to internet, which i suppose it will only blink whenever there's online activity.
I,ve tried reinstalled OS (XP Pro), but probm still the same. Plz help n advice me what's wrong. tq.
