note: to avoid confusion...
this guide is for people who wants to enable the ROUTING capabilities of their modem and share the internet connection using a switch or hub, so there's no need for them to buy a router...
this guide is NOT intended for people who are using a separate router like linksys, dlink, edimax, tplink, etc...
this is not a guide on how to configure your modem so you can use it together with your newly bought router... (as i find most people are confused and thought they needed to do this before setting up their router)
if you are using a separate router, then there is no need to follow this guide and configure your modem to router mode... all configuration should be done on your router, leave your modem alone... default modem settings is bridge mode...
although you can follow this guide, set your modem to router mode and still use a separate router, but that would result in a double router connections... that also means double port forwarding rules...
##################################################################
##################################################################
You may need to set a static IP address on your computer first before you can access the web config... (you know how to do that right?)
computer IP: 192.168.1.33
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
default gateway: 192.168.1.1
save settings and reboot...
after restarting, on your web browser type 192.168.1.1
you need to login as admin on your modem to be able to see and make changes to these settings...
otherwise you would only see the status page...
if that is the case, then you are logged in only as a guest mode...
try any of these password to login as admin...
1234
admin1234
adminpldt
1234567890
if you entered admin mode correctly, then the password change screen will appear asking you to change the default admin password...
if you click Ignore, this screen will always appear everytime you log in as admin...
it is highly recommended to change the default password...
click "Go to Advanced setup"
checked "Click here to always start with the Advanced setup"
if you want to always go directly to advanced setup, otherwise just leave it blank...
then follow the screenshots to guide you...
this is the status page when in bridge mode... take note of VPI / VCI value here and use it on the next configuration page...
##################################################################
##################################################################
go to Network / WAN / Internet Connection TAB
Mode: Routing
Encapsulation: ENET ENCAP
Multiplexing: LLC
VPI: 0
VCI: 100
or
VCI: 35
use whatever VCI works for you...
then click Obtain an IP Address Automatically
click Apply
if unsure about your VPI/VCI settings in your area, call 172 and ask...
##################################################################
##################################################################
go to Network / LAN / IP TAB
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
click Apply
##################################################################
##################################################################
go to Network / LAN / DHCP Setup TAB
DHCP: Server
IP Pool Starting Address: 192.168.1.100
Pool Size: 32
note: increase or decrease Pool Size corresponding to your needs...
click Apply
optional:
you can also enter your preferred DNS server if you want...
OpenDNS Servers
Primary: 208.67.222.222
Secondary: 208.67.220.220
Google DNS
Primary: 8.8.8.8
Secondary: 8.8.4.4
##################################################################
##################################################################
go to Network / NAT / General TAB
check Active Network Translation (NAT)
check SUA Only
click Apply
##################################################################
##################################################################
go to Maintenance / Tools / Restart TAB
then restart to make the new configuration take effect...
##################################################################
##################################################################
after restarting, you can check the status page of your modem to verify the settings...
the screenshot above is what your status page should look like when in router mode...
the System Status is already in routing mode, and the Device Information now shows your IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway and the DHCP server is now active...
above values are just an example, you could set your own values like in IP starting address and pool size, etc...
after this, you can change your computer back to Dynamic IP Address if you like...
above screenshots were taken from a working connection... that means if it doesn't work for you, it's either you are doing something wrong or you didn't follow the guide completely... in that case, go back to step 1 and try again and do not skip a step...
if it doesn't work out, try hard resetting your modem, hold the reset switch at the back of your modem for a few seconds then try following the guide again...
edited to include more info and to stop redundant questions as much as possible as most questions asked are already answered throughout this thread...

there is no need for a separate router after successfully turning your modem into router mode... you only need a switch to connect multiple computers...
above screenshots are verified to be working if followed correctly... screenshots were taken by pektong after i helped him turn his modem into router mode...
how many computer do you have?
do you have a switch?
what IP address do you get on your computer after following above instructions?
what is your default VPI and VCI values?
since you're from davao based on your other post, use these settings:
VPI:0
VCI:35
or use the same VPI and VCI values from your original settings...
yung sa IP pool size gawin mo na lang 32... kung 2 kasi, dalawa lang yung mabibigyan ng IP ng dhcp server ng modem mo...
