Technicolor TC7230 Modem/Router Configuration: Connecting Multiple Devices, WiFi Bands & Issues

Hello,

... for several years I have a modem in the VECTRA network. TP LINK router connected so far was without any problems: PC and PS3 connected via wires and several smartphones and 2 laptops wirelessly - WiFi. And it happened ... Today, the service has installed me a new Technicolor TC7230 modem / router and problems have started. After installing the modem / router, the installer checked the operation on my smartphone and everything was ok in the 5 GHz band and went. When I started to set up other devices, serious problems began. nothing works just for a moment two smartphones worked simultaneously but in different bands one 5 GHz and the other 2.4 GHz. Then I turned off the WiFi in smartphones and connected the PC on the cable to configure. I have to admit that PC hula nice, but what if no other device in the house has a connection to the network. and for China People I can not deal with it. The tool can operate the internet only for one device. I can not get to the router (address 192.168.0.1 does not work), I accidentally entered 192.168.100.1 and asked for login and password - of course, "admin" does not work, so BOK effectively blocks here. I do not even know how to change the factory password for the router .. and configure the network for other devices is "mission impossible" at this point.
Ask for your advice ...

Your router or provider?

Check what you get the address on the connected computer - if from the public pool you probably have a router set to bridge mode. Read the contract also - there may be a record of one device (in old contracts for additional providers sometimes they needed a surcharge). both problems are usually solved by your own router which connects to the provider's router and configures according to the needs.

The provider will not give you access to your router, you can ask for a WiFi password and reconfigure the network so that you have NAT, your own private network with the possibility of connecting more devices.

I made it according to your advice ... and everything starts working correctly. COOL !.
I will try to get access to Router from Vectra ...
it may be useful..

Thanks for your help and Regards

Welcome,

It was too early to be happy that everything works!
Smartphones and PC (XP) on the cable work fine, but my laptop - Samsung (Win7 Home Premium) can not cope with the modem / router TC 7230. Despite DNS.8.8.8 and cable connection to the router I could not connect to the internet because every time something was wrong.
Either DNS, or an unidentified network, or network connection disabled, etc.
In the end, I decided to return to the old router (TP-Link), which I had for 5 years. I connected it with the "bridge" bridge (in the settings on the Vectra website) with the TC 7230 router, I renewed the settings: WEP2 security, passwords and selected the least frequented fixed broadcast channel. The PC on the cable has been blown to TP-Link and works fine. I changed my smartphones and it's ok. Problem only with a laptop!
Usually when I turn it on during the day can identify the network and the Internet works, but if the break is longer, e.g. 2 hours or the whole night is turned off this morning the network sees as public and again I have to move from public to domestic and burn it on / off . Although in the settings day the day before I set this network as home! This is very annoying. If I do not do it, the network sees it, but there is no internet connection ... I am waiting for advice.

greetings

Added after 14 [minutes]:

... just after 1 hour of disuse, I missed the burn and the network sees it as home, but the internet is missing. Diagnosis suggests that there may be problems with the DNS server ... and so in the circle of Maciej ....

And finally, you do not know what kind of wifi you are connected to - whether from Vectra or TP Link.
Equipment from Vectra switch to bridge:

Then restart the current and their equipment and this TP Link at the same time for 30 seconds, set the wifi on TP Link and see.
Also install on a laptop with the InSSIDer v2 / Home problem and insert the network measurement result from this TP Link here.

clearly I wrote, WIFI is from TP-Link. and the Vectra equipment is set to Bridge. Read it carefully

I made these basics at the very beginning and they did not work because I put in a post ...
read everything from the beginning you will understand ..

Why this certainty, since modemorouter can generate their own wifi even in bridge mode (something like WiFree in UPC - they also have something similar).

I asked for pictures from the network scan!
Base another router instead of TP Link.
Turn off wifi network security at all and try to connect to the wifi network

What operating system?
In safe mode with network support works wifi?

WIN7 operating system
the paradox is that the connection to the network is always, but it is not always possible to use the interner, ie it works once, and once it does not (depending on the case and the dynamic IP)
