How to access bridge router?

[cuti7399]

Hi all,

I using dsl modem and have the actiontec q1000 modem/router and netgear 3700 router. I setup the netgear as bridge after flashing with dd-wrt. I disable the dhcp on the netgear router and wireless on the actiontec router.
I can access the actiontec modem/router by using it's default ip : 192.168.0.1 but I don't know how to access the netgear router. I'm running dynamic ips BTW. Any help is appreciated.

You would access the Netgear using whatever you set as it's LAN IP address when you were making the other changes to set it up as an access point (bridge).

but i did not assigned/set its IP before plugging it in through the modem

Then it's time to 30/30/30 reset it and start the setup over.

This time make sure to give it a fixed address outside the DHCP range but on the same subnet.

If you know the IP it defaulted to, you could set your PC to a static address on the same subnet, set the bridge address as the gateway, and plug it in LAN-side... Seriously simpler just to hard reset it.

I tend to reserve the first 10 IP addresses or so on my home network for infrastructure. I currently have a main route and two serving as bridges. It's overkill but means I'll never run out. I assign my static DHCP leases in the .20 to .99 range, and begin my DHCP pool at .100. It means that there's always plenty of leeway for adding devices.
