Hello,
i was using broadband connection and just switched to airtel 4g with huawei modem ZTE MF 29,i have the dlink DSL 2750(ADSL+router) and also a linksys E4200(wifi router) and a belkin WGT624(router),I want to connect these three devices (Dlink & Linksys & Belkin) to the airtel 4g modem,i tried changing the IP addresses to 192.169.2.1 and 192.168.4.1 in each device providing unique ip address and unique enabled SSID,i get the internet from each device for a minute and after that it stops responding,also the airtel 4g modem also stops responding,please provide a solution...i read somewhere to disable the DHCP on the device,should i try with that or is there another problem ..please provide a complete solution...thankyou

Use the lan ports on those devices, turn off dhcp and assign them ip in the same range as the modem. ie change the last number not the first three in the IP. To a point it does not matter what IP you assign since it is only used to administer the other routers. The key is to disable DHCP

Hard to explain the concept of subnets in a small post. Attach your PC and see what IP you get. If you get say 192.168.0.10 and a gateway of 192.168.0.1 pick addresses of 192.168.0.xx for your device, you can set the gateway to 192.168.0.1 but it does not matter.
