I would actually connect the Draytek WAN port to the Netgear LAN
port, connect all your LAN ports to the Draytek.
On the Draytek configure the WAN port to get it's IP via DHCP
from the Netgear (192.168.0.x)
On the Draytek configure the LAN port to use 192.168.1.1 with a
netmask of 255.255.255.0
Configure DHCP server on the Draytek to use the LAN port and set
a scope of something like 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.200, with
192.168.1.1 as the router.
For DNS use one of the public DNS services e.g. google 8.8.8.8
and 8.8.4.4
Hi Richard.
Simply put...
Use the Netgear for DHCP.
Turn DHCP Server Off on the Draytek.
Assign the Draytek a static IP (not 192.168.0.1 but something
in the DHCP pool)
Turn Off WiFi on the Netgear
That'll do it for now - unless someone else on the list wants
to explain subnets.

Hi
I have been given a lovely piece of kit by a lug member. I
need to now set this up and I am wondering if I could have
some help please?
I now have a Netgear DGN2200v4. This is serving as a router
and dhcp server. It also provides wifi.
The new piece of kit is a Draytek Vigor 2130 Series Broadband
Router/Firewall.
So, I now want to switch off all functionality in the Netgear
and let the Draytek take over, using the Netgear simply as a
modem.
Both bits of equipment are using the ip address of
192.168.0.1. When I type that in a browser, I get access to
the Netgear. The Draytek is connected via cable to the Netgear
and currently displays a wifi identity as Draytek with no
protection. I can log into the wifi and use it.
I tried turning off the Netgear as a DHCP server and lost the
internet completely and so I reset that and I am now once
again functioning.
I am assuming that if I tell the Netgear to use IP address
192.168.0.250 say, this will then allow me to connect to the
Draytek. Is that correct please, if not can someone tell me
the steps to take in order to let the Draytek take over and
secure the Network please?
Thanks
