 |
|
Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to set up a wireless router on KT QOOK internet. I brought a Wireless router from home in Canada (Linksys WRT54G) but I can't get it to work through the ID/password nature of the ISP. I know the ISP supplies wireless routers but it's extra money I don't really want to spend since I have my own router here.
Anyone have ideas on how to set this up? |

| I haven't used QOOK yet, but it might be as simple as opening up a dos window, typing "ipconfig /release all," disconnecting your computer, then plugging the router in. I'm just assuming the ISP assigned an IP to your computer's MAC address and isn't recognizing the MAC address when you plug your router in. |

a very easy solution (and what I did), was to just let your wireless router clone the MAC address of your computer, so the router thinks that your router IS your computer. That way it won't ask you for the password again (after you've entered it once from your computer).
From what I've seen so far, all routers have an option to clone your PC's MAC address. |

I have the same issue with Qook internet and the same linksys router. Neither of those solutions worked for me? Does anyone know of any other options or what worked for them. Any help is greatly appreciated. Internet is the only issue my girlfriend and I ever bicker about here lol  |

Connect your computer to your router and type in 192.168.1.1 in to your browsers address bar. The password on your router will likely be "admin". |

| I've tried changing multiple router settings. I have used CMD promt to release and refresh all of the ip's. I have clone my routers MAC address to match my PC's in case it was a passport or ID issue with the ISP. I have tried setting it up as PPPoE using the one time username and pass they provided us. None of those have worked. The internet light on the router is on but it says "no internet access" on the pc. We used a login id and password one time on my computer to use a browser but the internet has aleays worked for side programs ie: skype and xbox live. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated |

Hi, I also have qook internet, and I use my own wireless router. Like another poster mentioned, you need to have your router clone the MAC address of your computer.
Also, if Qook's login page is coming up everytime, you need to click the option which makes it so it doesn't ask you for a login unless another computer is connected.
After doing all this the Qook modem will have no way of knowing whether your computer or router are connected (since they both share the same MAC address). |

I have a slightly different setup. I have (weird) an ethernet cable going into my cable tv box, and another ethernet cable going from the box to my router.
I think the key is to get the login page to come up when you're connected directly via your computer and click the last option (IIRC) that says to basically never ask again and have my internet configured automatically. After doing so I conencted my router and it was fine. |

Although I'm not familiar with the the exact captive portal that QOOK uses, this is essentially correct.
My experience was that most Korean captive portals (ie the webpage that comes up asking for your username and password before you can reach the internet) are heavily flash-based and really require you to first login using a directly connected computer. The captive portal then takes the computer's MAC address and will allow any traffic from a node with that MAC address.
Of course, you then clone the MAC address of that first computer to your router and you will then be able to connect as many devices as you want. This is because the ISP's next router up the line has no idea what the MAC address originally belonged to and will let anything through that has already been white listed. If you were to directly connect another computer with a different MAC address, you would be prompted to enter your details again.
For anyone else curious about this, you can quite happily use the same router from back home in Korea, provided you go through this additional first step. |
