So today I noticed an old Telus router that still works prior to me getting Optik TV.<\/p>\n

I decided that I am sometimes pushing my current wireless router to the brink when I try and do backups or uploads to the website from my laptop. This also effects the speed if I’m doing this and Amanda is trying to use the internet.<\/p>\n

Total time it took aprox. 1hr total.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Reset the router, the Siemens SE567 had a button on the bottom use a pen to push the reset button in while powering up the router(You don’t want it to try and take over an existing wireless connection and causing issues).<\/li>\n
  2. Find the default username and password on the router.\u00a0 In my case I used the link below. http:\/\/www.routeripaddress.com\/routers\/9591\/siemens_gigasetse567_default_settings.html<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Connect a computer via ethernet cable to the router port 1.<\/li>\n
  4. Boot up the computer.<\/li>\n
  5. You should now be able to connect to the router usually at the following ip address http:\/\/192.168.1.254<\/li>\n
  6. Log into the router<\/li>\n
  7. Find the area to setup your wireless connection and set it up the way you would like too.<\/li>\n
  8. Ensure everything you setup is done. If you need to make changes you will have to start over from scratch.<\/li>\n
  9. Reboot the router and double check your settings. Try making a tests connection to your wireless access point that you just setup.<\/li>\n
  10. Enter the following into your router http:\/\/192.168.1.254\/brgmode.htm (This is only specific to the Siemens SE567)<\/li>\n
  11. Select bridge mode (This will prompt your router to reboot). *Warning you will no longer have access to this router interface after selecting this option unless you reset the router. The router will no longer function as a DHCP server<\/li>\n
  12. Unplug the computer move the cable from port 1 to port 4 (WAN Port)<\/li>\n
  13. You can now plug the Gigaset Router into you network and use it as an access point<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
