I am having a DSL Modem ZTE 831 Series. To have Wireless Connectivity at home, I have connected Tenda WiFi Router W316R.

The address of DSL Modem is 192.168.1.1 The address of Wifi Router is 192.168.0.1

The physical connection settings are as below:

Modem has only one Lan port e.g before attaching WLAN router i was able to connect only one pc so after purchasing WLAN router, i connected that one Lan port of modem with WLAN router's internet port. So now traffic of modem directed to WiFi Router.

The Wifi Router has 4 Lan Ports and one internet port (connected with modem) and out of 4 remaining LAN ports, 1 of them i am using to connect a PC as i am not having WiFi adapter on that desktop PC.

Other devices are WiFi enabled like laptop and phones etc so i connect them wirelessly.

Now after clearing the scenario, i want to come to the original question that i am want to access DSL modem configuration through browser while being connected to Wifi Router.

I am able to access DSL modem configuration while internet is connected mean when DSL is UP, so I go to 192.168.1.1 through browser and can easily access mode configuration.

But as soon as Internet gets disconnected like when DSL goes down, I can not access modem configuration page.

I am wandering that why it is issue when DSL is down because I am connecting to device on my Local Area.

Can any expert me with that Please.

  • Does the modem hang when dsl goes down?or vice versa? If it hangs then no device will be able to access it.

  • I can access it if I'm directly connected to modem but can't when indirectly like behind the router.

Your modem and router are on diffirent networks (192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1), consider using the router as a switch. If your router does not allow itself being used as a switch then consider upgrading your router firmware to DD-WRT. Check compatibility for your exact model before you do.

  • It does not support DD-WRT any other solution by configuration?
