best wishes

do i change to Static IP.

No, you are not using the WAN on the Belkin.

You need to Change LAN Settings (p46) to turn off DHCP and fix IP addy to outside Netgear's range.

EDIT: You need to go by p57 of Netgear Manual & p46 of Belkin Manual only. You are playing with the LAN in both cases; the WAN is already handled by the Modem in the Netgear.

Hi, configure the Belkin router Wireless Access Point with IP address 192.168.0.251

Disable Belkin DHCP server

Connect Belkin to Netgear DM111PSP router with Ethernet cable, LAN port to LAN port. (Not ADSL WAN port)

Connect your computer Ethernet connection to Belkin router LAN port. (Not ADSL WAN port)

Example http://www.netgear.co.uk/home/products/wired-routers...

To access Netgear router type http://192.168.0.1 in web browser.

To access Belkin wireless access point type http://192.168.0.251 in web browser.

Edited: I have tested this configuration setup and it all works with Ethernet and wireless.

OP has already been told all that. His difficulty is relating it to the correct GUI pages of both routers.

Anyway that is incomplete as the Netgear itself needs its DHCP configured as it is issued a a simple "modem" having only 1 LAN port.

As you can see, the PO connection automatically configures the Netgear.

Yes, WAN-side, but we're interested in LAN-side.

Apropos of everyone.

I think the OP is being deluged by conflicting advice. There is also the question not yet raised about the possible difference if it isn't a v2.

Accepting that the Netgear User Manual for the v2 contradicts the specification for the "v1", and that the former is what the OP has so it is in fact a modem/router, and assuming the Belkin is a cable modem, (the OP hasn't replied to my question about it being VM Cable), isn't by far the easiest thing to do is to check the Netgear is or isn't in bridging mode,(it almost certainly isn't), and set it to bridge?

Then all the discussion of DHCP and IP addresses goes out of the window. We would have, as I said earlier, an identical setup to Openreach FTTC. Modem/router bridged to the WAN port on the Belkin, exactly as he would have had on Virgin. Possibly needing to enter the login details for his current service.

How about this page, for the v2.
_Typo.

How so?

They are both captioned as a "Modem" but both lead to a ADSL2+ Modem Router DM111PSPv2 User Manual.

I don't think there is conflicting advice, but the OP is looking at WAN Setip pages when we want him to only change the LAN Setup.

Is it possible to bridge to a lone PC, cuz that;s how this Netgear is intended to be used? I thought bridging was only used when you connect to another router as you are doing with FTTC.

Therefore Netgear is not bridged!

Hi, you need to configure your computer static IP address for Ethernet and wireless connection.

Configure computer for Ethernet connection�

Use Following IP Address:

IP address: 192.168.0.3 <- Example: PC Ethernet connection static IP address. (How Ethernet is configured)
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway:192.168.0.1

Use the following DNS server address:
Preferred DNS server: 193.168.0.1
Alternate DNS server: Leave blank

Configure computer for Wireless connection�

Use Following IP Address:

IP address: 192.168.0.13 <- Example: PC wireless connection static IP address. (How wireless card is configured)
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.0.1

Use the following DNS server address:
Preferred DNS server: 192.168.0.1
Alternate DNS server: Leave blank

Sorry I was unable to find Post Office broadband DNS server address. You could use Google.

The Google Public DNS IP addresses (IPv4) are as follows:

Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8
Alternate DNS server: 8.8.4.4

https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/...

Edited: Important the default gateway setting for Ethernet and wireless must be the same as Netgear DM111PSP router IP address.
Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
All devices static IP address must NOT be within the Netgear DM111PSP router DHCP server range.
