According to the little information I've been able to find, the viasat
gateway should be at 192.168.100.1. But it's not clear, so what IP
address does your computer get when it's connected to the gateway
using either ethernet or wireless? Assuming you can get to the web
interface of the gateway, the username should be "admin", the password
is either "admin" or is written on the gateway somewhere. You should
be able to disable the wifi if you want and there might be a way to
switch it to bridged mode, either in the router settings or the modem
settings. Be careful, if you do switch it to bridged mode, you might
not be able access it again without completely resetting it.
In any case, bridged or not, you should be able to use your own
router. Unless you've done some unusual configuration of your router,
this is how it should be connected. Connect an ethernet cable from
your router's WAN port to one of the gateway's LAN ports. I would
recommend using port 1. Now, connect your other network devices to
your router's LAN ports or wifi. Check the IP address of your
computer now. Go to your router's web interface and make sure that
the WAN interface is set to use DHCP and check what it's IP address is.
. I would answer yes to all those questions ... On this computer NM
shows 192.168.122.1 initially, the other one I have been using ...124.1
but this computer is normally fixed at 192.168.1.47 and so far the only
I can get a path through my router is to WAN plug into one of the LAN
jacks, the router then acts like a switch or a straight through Ethernet
adapter which also works. IO have never been able to get a signal
through my router from the WAN jack to the LAN jacks when connected to
the Viasat "modem." It did work with their old modem before the system
upgrade that introduced the new modem and dish, for thirteen years
before that the system worked with whatever equipment they provided and
several different routers, almost always modified to run DD-WRT or the
Tomato-USB version of DD-WRT which I prefer and using presently.
I began to suspect that my router is not configured correctly for NAT
and have been messing with that, it has some settings I have never
needed to use before but I think I need to adjust them, Hope to have
time to work on that tomorrow.
And yes, the wifi password and router password are among the things on
the bottom label and I have been using them to access the Viasat modem
as necessary.
I hope that gets all the things you asked and I appreciate the assistance.
