I have 3 pieces of hardware:

1. Green Packet DX-230 WiMAX modem with router
2. D-Link DIR-615 ver G2 (from my ISP)
3. D-Link 8 port desktop switch

I previously used the DIR-615 with my high speed broadband connection. However I had to move to a new house and here I can only get WiMAX. I want to...

Place the WiMAX modem upstairs to serve as modem and wireless access point
Have the DIR-615 function as the main router and firewall (downstairs)
Use the switch to connect all the rooms in my house

FYI my WiMAX modem has no connection configurations. I just plug it in and it'll connect automatically to the WiMAX signal. It has 2 LAN ports but no WAN port.

From my understanding of networking, I have to turn off DHCP on my WiMAX modem, put it in the same IP range as my DIR-615 (192.168.0.100-199), and disable UPNP and NATPMP. After this I'm stuck.

How do I tell my DIR-615 to use the WiMAX modem as it's WAN connection?
Should I reserve an IP for the modem in my DIR-615?
Is there anything else I'm missing?

Thanks, appreciate your responses!

Keeps us posted on how it goes.

Seems like this is a complex set up. You may want to scale down the set up some.

I presume that your WiMax modem is your main modem now. Does it have a built in router or is it stand alone?
