My neighbor has comcast cable and had an encore enhw1-2an3 router hooked up to his TV and blu-ray player. He had to get a new comcast modem, and now his netflix is not working on the blu-ray. It is saying that there is no network connection. I am trying to figure out how everything was configured, but networking is not my strong point. I can not access the Encore's config page I am not sure if the default IP was changed or not? I do not want to do a hard reset on the Encore because it still has settings in it and I did not want to erase them until I knew how everything was set up.
The Encores name is "ED_Wireless" and before he connected to that, but now he connects to "HOME-5ABSFDF" or something like that. Connecting to "ED_wireless" gives you limited network icon with no network access.
What I am trying to figure out is if the Encore was set up as an access point, repeater, or what? My best guess was that the comcast modem/router was set to bridge mode and he was using the Encore as the main router. Let me know what you guys think...

Thanks

It sounds like the new Modem is broadcasting its own wireless, therefor nullifying the routers wireless.

Hard wire directly into the new modem, and go to Start>type in CMD in search bar. When command prompt opens, type in : Ipconfig

The default gateway will be the Ip address of the modem. You can then enter that IP into a browser and access the modem configuration page.

Hope this helps!

No matter what I did I could not access the Encore's config page so I reset it. I have it at home and am trying to get it to work with my PS3. In one room I have the comcast modem. I set up the Encore as AP router mode. I disabled the dhcp server and set the IP to 10.0.0.20. I also changed the SSID / Password to match that of the comcast router. The comcast modems IP is 10.0.0.1. I took the Encore into another room and hooked it up with an ethernet to my PS3. My PS3 is failing to get an IP address.....I am lost as to what I need to do.

The DHCP server is what assigns an IP to your devices. If you want to keep DHCP off, you would have to set a static IP on your devices
