![]() ![]() The default password for the i38HG is a long string of numbers printed on the side of the DC Power Supply / Battery Backup (I recommend you change this password). ![]() The IP address of your i38HG Router (or 5268AC Gateway or BGW210-700) is printed on the side, or bottom, of the unit. If not, visit the DD-WRT website for help. I'm assuming you've already got DD-WRT installed and working on your Router. Below is a explanation of the steps to go through to set your network up like mine. The trick to getting everything to work is ensuring that the settings are correct on both the i38HG/5268AC/BGW210-700 & WRT54G/TL-WDR3600/AC1750 (running DD-WRT). The web interface on the BGW210-700 is different than the other two and so the steps change a bit. I've also had an opportunity to configure this type of system at my parents' house with an AT&T Arris BGW210-700 and TP-Link AC1750 Archer C7 v2. Not surprisingly the DD-WRT interface is the same on both units. I have also upgraded my router from the WRT54G to a TP-Link TL-WDR3600 with DD-WRT firmware. Luckily the web interface on the 5268AC is virtually identical to that of the i38HG. Since then I've also gotten standard DSL service from AT&T which uses the typical phone line connection and, this time, a Pace 5268AC Gateway. The WRT54G has a local address of 192.168.1.1 and assigns all wired & wireless IP addresses from the 192.168.1.XXX block. I have the local address of the i38HG as 192.168.0.1 and it can assign 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.5 on its wired ports. ![]() Essentially I disabled the wireless radio on the 2Wire i38HG, plugged my Linksys WRT54G into the i38HG and had the i38HG pass all traffic through to the WRT54G. I did a little bit of Googling & some experimenting and ended up with a solution I was happy with. I used this firmware load to allow me to assign static IPs, MAC Address Filtering, and reasonably complex Port Forwarding. This was a problem for me as the 2Wire Router is limited in functionality and I was used to administering my home network using a Linksys WRT54G with DD-WRT firmware installed. To my initial dismay, I found that the VDSL modem could not function without the AT&T 2Wire Router. ![]() The installation consisted of a special, proprietary, AT&T VDSL modem, a DC Power Supply, & a special, AT&T 2Wire Router model i38HG. I called them up & had the service installed & activated. When I moved into my new home AT&T UVerse was my only real option for internet access. ![]()
