Please I need assistance here. I have an mtn hynet modem that I want to connect to a dlink 500N Router. I've tried every means within my disposal but i have not succeeded. I have read both devices' manuals over and over, downloaded videos from youtube, still unsuccessfull. I think the issue is with the mtn device, because I configured my router correctly, so i shouldnt experience any challenge when connecting the hynet. But when I connect the hynet with a switch (dlink), it connects perfectly and even supply internet to the router (cos the router is connected to the switch). But this is not the kind of connection I am looking for, I need the hynet to connect to the router cos I need to do port forwarding with the router. Please any idea on dealing with this issue is highly welcomed. Thanx brothers!

See that the dlink router is changed to anything different from 192.168.1.1 to avoid ip conflict. Lets know de outcome.

Both IPs are different, the LAN IP of the hynet is 192.168.0.1 while that of the router is 192.168.0.2. The WAN IP of the hynet is a 10. IP with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 (which I tink shouldnt av such subnet mask). So, I set the WAN IP of the router to dhcp (to get ip from the isp or hynet) cos since there's no static ip given by the isp, I can't just forge one ip and give to the wan side of the router.

Done the same configuration with a tp-link usb router and had no issues.Try use a different subnet from your wan(mtn modem), say maybe 192.168.1.1 for your dlink router, so it appears you are routing from a different network to another instead of 192.168.0.2.

these two are same

192.168.0.1 while that of the router is 192.168.0.2

it should be a different network entirely. e.g see attached pic

From ur posts, the entire configuration is in place for a good connection. Try using a 3g usb modem for your internet connection.I can also suggest you do a ping trouble shoot, outcome could give a hint on the likely itch. Remember to disable the 3g usb interface when connection via the rj45 port and vice-cersa.

Thanx guys, av been able to get it working. My challenge now is to configure an ip camera for remote viewing. The router is a dlink dsr 500N while the camera is a dlink dsc 7110 camera and two mobotix cameras. I've been on it for over 2wks now, I've tried port forwarding on the router, yet it's been unsuccessful. Any help/idea is welcome.

D-link switches are great. They have released new models http://www.kara.com.ng/d_link
