Already said "screw the installer disk" and did the manual connection. It's ready, but I'm STILL connecting to the Siemens,and if I shut that off, I don't have Internet. Where the hell do I go from here, I can recover my network info if it ever goes down, but I've never set up a router. Keep in mind I don't have a dekstop computer (that works anyways), and everything was done by hardwiring my laptop to the Siemens to get to the DLink router menu.

How are you connecting the D-Link to the Siemens? You should at the very least be connecting the D-Link's WAN port to one of the Siemens' LAN ports, and leaving the D-Link's WAN settings to DHCP - its WAN should show a 192.168.1.* IP from the Siemens. That should give you a working outgoing connection.

Properly, especially if you want to configuring incoming traffic (port forwarding), you should be setting the Siemens to Bridge mode first, so it operates as JUST a modem, not a modem/router.

That means the router will now get a 10.* IP from Telus' internal network; you'll need to go through the process of registering the D-Link's WAN MAC address with your Telus account...

OR, the Siemens should list its own WAN MAC on a sticker on it, or in the setup somewhere, so you can copy that into the MAC Clone section in the D-Link, and it will get the same internet IP you had before.

And yes, screw the installer disk.

i work for telus higher up in said department... there was a glitch and yes it happened to many ppl after a remote firmware upgrade to those with siemens modems. i have the documentation regarding it open right now.

siemens modems r crap and there is an active order to replace all siemens modems out as we speak. pm me ur number and ill see what i can do about getting it replaced free of charge ;) or ill give u info on how it can be done.

yes telus tsr's most of the time dont know wtf is going on but this time they did lol

You can also try assigning the dlink to the dmz. This should help bypass most of the routing features.

My shitty siemans just completely crapped out

Wait time at telus is 50 mins :fuckthatshit:

Keith did you want to get yours replaced as well? Please send me your number associated with the line, and a way for me to contact you as well as your address. PM is key.

Any update??? None of my devices can connect to my stupid wireless again...

I had an issue with my Telus Siemens SE567, the SSID was reset by itself to "GigasetSE567" so none of my wireless devices could find or connect to it. I totally forgot the default password was "telus" to get into the settings and the password I had changed it to wasn't working, so I had to call in to Telus.

The rep I talked to said, oh it must have reset itself due to an automatic firmware update, now I have no clue if that was just a bs excuse or not, but from reading this thread it sounds like I should pull my Linksys router out of storage and turn the wireless off the Siemens one.

What do you guys think of this? On sale for $29 on boxing day

Excellent router - I have three of them. Most hardware versions are DD-WRT flashable, too.

I started telus optik in December, does that mean I have "fixed" modem/router.

Optik doesn't use that modem/router.
