SET ST536v6 to bridge mode

shiahzy · Oct 8, 2007

i understand that after setting your st536v6 modem to bridge mode and connecting it to the internet port of the router and connecting your router to the computer using the lan cable, you have to set your router to PPPoE.

but how do i access the router web configuration at all?
when i do a ipconfig, the ip add of the modem is now 203.xx.xx.xx (if i remember correctly)

furthermore, i seem to have a problem when i used the setup cd for my wrt54g as the modem could not connect to the router.

i would appreciate if someone could correct me if i did anything wrong. thanks a bunch.

finally got mine home wireless network up and running after doing a hard reset of my router.
all credits to davionex for his method of bridging the modem and his patience. of course thanks to liangtam for answering all my pm too.

cheers people.

Hi all,
First of all Thanks the posting here, they are great info as they help ppl like me very newbie in ADSL+2. :s12:

I upgrade the ST536v6 firmware to v6.2.17.5
then i run the Residential CD to set it to bridge mode and use my wireless router
Status: successfully :s12:

Got a Question to ask, is there anyone tried using BEFSR41 to connect as i can't seem to get it running.

Ok...after few days of calling SNBB helpdesk .... finally got the solution to revert my ST536v6 modem back to bridge mode. You will need to call up Thos Solution Tel:67739693

Anyway, I post it here :-

To set the modem to a bridged mode, please ensure that your PC is connected directly to the SpeedTouch.

If you have previously set up the modem to connect to the internet, you will need to disconnect it using a web browser.

Go to http://192.168.1.254 and Under Broadband connection, click on

'Disconnect' button.

You can then close the browser. (The Internet LED should be off)

To perform a telnet to the modem, click on (Start, select "Run..." and type in: cmd[Enter]

(for Windows 98se or Windows Millennium, type: command [Enter] )

if the command is successful, you should see a black color DOS screen.

Type in the following

telnet 192.168.1.254[Enter]

When prompted for authentication, please provide the following information.

username: Administrator[Enter]
password: [Enter]

You should then see a prompt like the one below:

{Administrator}=>

Please type in the commands as they appear after the ">" symbol.

hi Diavonex

i just sign up for 3mbps and awaiting the arrival of the modem is is most likely speedtouch 536 if i am not wrong

i have been on maxonline for nuts years and i got no idea how singnet works ,

basically what i know is that the current modem does not allow to connect to a router directly,

i was told to pay money to get a wireless modem , but i dun i will do that and i rather seek help here,

i have been reading thru post 1 and hope that u can send me the screenshots

for putting the modem into a bridge mode so that i am able to connect to a

wireless router.

i have pm you my e-mail and await your reply

thanks!

Diavonex · Nov 8, 2007

Check your email.

CrimsonP · Nov 8, 2007

ok thanks alot

so basically i just follow your screenshot while my modem is connected directly to my computer and once the setup is finish and rebooting ,

i take out the cable from the computer and plug into the router and config in the linksys admin website for settings

am i right?

Diavonex · Nov 8, 2007

After setting ST536v6 to bridge mode:

1. Connect ST536v6>router WAN port>router LAN port to computer

2. Set PPPoE (Username and Password)

3. Surf the Internet

liangtam · Nov 8, 2007

The ST536 can also be configured into half-bridge mode, thus able use the better PPPoA instead of PPPoE mode. However, latency will take some beatings as the ST536 performance for base latency is bad.

Anyone keen on trying?

oh which mean i still need the cable from the router LAN port to computer?

and can't use my wireless adapter?

Diavonex · Nov 8, 2007

Setup with wire; you can remove CAT5 when setting is completed (i.e. you can use wireless)

CrimsonP · Nov 8, 2007

ok understand , setting the bridge mode where they ask u to key in your admin user and password. is that your own detail or singnet ?

how about PPPoE user and pass?

Diavonex · Nov 8, 2007

Use your own username and password to prevent access to your ST536v6.

You only input Singnet username and password in router.

Hi, I have a problem here

My setup

ST536v6 (6.1.0.5) ethernet --> (wan) Linksys WRT54G v7 (lan) --> (ethernet) PC

I have set up my ST536v6 into bridge mode according to Diavonex settings. (basic --> bridge)

Then I setup in my Linksys setup page my PPPoE username and password.
Then I went to the Linksys status page and found it is disconnected. I click on the CONNECT button.
After a while, it is connected and I get a public IP in the range of 220.xxx.xxx.xxx

When I am using my PC to go online, after about 20s, I get disconnected.
I went back to the Linksys status page and it gives an error "PPPoE LCP negotiation failed".
All the IP address become 0.0.0.0

I click on CONNECT button again, and I get Public IP again, then same symptom happens.

The 3rd time I do it, it tell me "Cannot get an IP from PPPoE server"

I don't know why is it like that when nobody else is facing this problem

Diavonex · Nov 10, 2007

1. Make sure your username and password is correct i.e. username@singnet

2. Disable WEP/WPA and try again

Note: Your computer IP should be 192.168.1.XXX

Diavonex · Nov 10, 2007

If you still have problem, try static IP:

Your Internet Properties should look like this:

Diavonex · Nov 10, 2007

If it still does'nt work, hard reset the router and try again.

bwaysaigong · Nov 10, 2007

Hi Diavonex, thanks for helping.

1) Username and password is correct. Did a Basic --> Routed PPP and it is able to work.

2) I am using wired LAN connected to Linksys and to ST536.

3) I have hard reset the router, and redo the basic --> bridge and it is same symptom of disconnecting after 20s.

4) Currently, using Routed PPP, which plug into the Linksys router (LAN), and setting Linksys as Automatic DHCP.

My ST536 is from Singtel and having firmware version 6.1.0.5. Do you think it is a problematic version?
