The default is 192.168.8.1 I tried to change it to 10.0.0.2 since that is an available address outside of the DHCP range of the Xfinity. I went to the LAN SETTINGS tab to set the IP of the Medialink to access the config page. I then reset the Medialink, I can access the config page after the reset.
The Xfinity modem access IP is 10.0.0.1 The DHCP range is 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.254 I changed the range on the Xfinity to start from 10.0.0.3 to. Per those instructions the Medialink IP to access the config page would need to be outside of the range of the DHCP addresses of the Xfinity modem. I tried following the steps on this link here, read the very last post Its once I disable the DHCP on the Medialink I can no longer access it via 192.168.8.1, this is my problem. After a factory reset, I can login to the Medialink. I can still connect to the Medialink wirelessly as well but since DHCP is turned off is that going to affect any wireless devices that connect to it?Ĭlick to expand.I have done this. I do now have an OPEN NAT though so it corrected that issue. Xbox One sees about 60mbps down wired which is about a 50-60mbps loss. Downspeeds improved slightly with my laptop wired to the Medialink to 80mbps down, so there is still a 40mbps loss wired. On my Xfinity router the IP showing for the Medialink is 10.0.0.93 so I set a static IP through the Xfinity Modem for that. The login IP for the Medialink is 192.168.8.1 and I cannot get to the login screen anymore. For some reason after I disable the setting I cannot get back into the router config screen to login to it( I am attempting this wirelessly). I then went into my Medialink settings and DISABLED DHCP on the Medialink. I can connect to the Medialink Wirelessly and wired but speeds are the same (cut in half). I tried plugging the 50ft cable from the Xfinity Modem into the LAN port of the Medialink. The cable is good and I am seeing 120mbps down 11-12mbps up I first tested the 50ft cable plugged directly into my laptop. I tried your suggestions and am making progress.
Medialink router address Ps4#
I want to use the Medialink in the basement to handle my AVR, XBox1, PS4 WIRED and IF POSSIBLE connect to it wirelessly in case I bring my laptop or cell devices down there since wireless to the Xfinity unit (upstairs) has very poor signal to the basement. Smart TVs, smartphones, my desktop and laptop PCs.
I read some articles about making the Medialink into a switch, I tried to do this but everytime I disabled the DHCP setting I was not able to log into the Medialink anymore.Īny help on getting this sorted out is greatly appreciated.Ĭlick to expand.I want to use the Xfinity Modem to handle all my wireless devices that are used upstrairs which include.

Is the Medialink just not capable of handling those speeds?Īlso I cannot get an open NAT now with Xbox one service connected to the Medialink with UPNP turned on or even if I force a manual IP and open ports manually. Its better but I know I can get closer to 100mbps. I now am getting around 60mbps wired tested off of the Medialink. The Xfinity modem is hardwired to the WAN port of the Medialink. So I had a Medialink WAPR300N router laying around. I have 3 devices down there on my media shelving and I wanted to keep everything wired. I moved some stuff around in the house and was able to run a 50ft Cat6 cable from the modem down to the basement. The POE cut my speeds down to only 30mbps wired directly to the same laptop. When I built the basement I decided I was going to use a POE setup and try that due to the layout and getting wiring down into the basement, also the wireless signal from the Xfinity modem was very weak in the basement with the modem located upstairs. I usually hit on a speed test around 115-120mbps wired from my laptop to the Xfinity Modem. I have Xfinity X1 service with their 105mbps speed. I recently finished my basement and was trying to find the best solution to getting a solid internet connection down there.
