Help with RKE and U-Verse connection

[JuniorMC8704]

Well, i have the RKE w/ net, and my ISP is ATT U-Verse.

With the profilux i needed a static IP, as i know i will also need for this as well.

The only way to get a static IP with Uverse is by having them come out and do a service call, and install some block on the "gateway" and it gives me 8 static IP's and cost $15 a month.

Has anyone hooked a controller that has a net connection to uverse ISP without having to pay extra?

do you need a static , no. there are things that can be done around that in order to achive your goals. there are a couple DNS hosting company that provide domain names and software to monitor you changing ip. there are company that do that like no-ip.com

Are you looking to just connect to your RKE via ip? or do you want have a domain name? If it is to connect than all you need to do is login to your U Verse router and setup port forward to that ip of your RKE. This is the safest way. I do not own one, but I sure I can help you set it up.

alright, im going to run some cable tomorrow, and we can revisit this.

sounds like i finally found people willing to help.

Those profilux forum guys are like talking to a brick wall...

The RKE-NET is setup to use DHCP. If you want to keep its IP from changing on startup, you could always tell the router to assign a specific IP to the MAC address of the NET module.

I don't have AT&T either, but it's a standard option on most routers these days.

 

[JuniorMC8704]

yeah thats the problem. You have no DHCP control. sooo dumb.

 

[cparka23]

I see, you're having problems on the Uverse router. LOL

Well, Portforward is a good resource for what Ardo mentioned earlier. Uverse uses the 2wire brand, correct? They should have your model router there in case you want to read up a bit tonight.

 

[JuniorMC8704]

cool, ill start reading after lost...

 

[jimsflies]

Jr- I thought you are a profilux guy?

 

[JuniorMC8704]

i sold it...too $$$ to do what i need it to do.

$300 for ever 6 outlets....too rich for my blood...

I like $90 for 4...

Ya, did you see the new HUB module from DA today? 5 data ports for $29! That ROCKS!

 

[ardo_ski]

I have U Verse and can help with it. I'll PM on how to login to your router. Also watching Lost :nerd:

 

[jimsflies]

Seems like everyone is jumping on the RKE bandwagon. Wonder how much more I'd like it than the AC3?

Junior I am running the RKE with the Net Module. It is fairly easy to setup once you get it on the network. I installed dyndns and its application on my laptop. That gives you a url to access your RKE.NET remotely. I then logged into my router and used port forwarding on port 80 assigned to the RKE.NET. For some reason I will still having DHCP problems so I assigned a static IP Address to my .NET a little higher in range. It works like a charm now. If you get stuck I can help aswell.

 

[JuniorMC8704]

lol, between LOST and this my brain hurts....

ill get the cable tomorrow, and then we can get this thing all figured out.

 

[JuniorMC8704]

pffft.....cake walk.

NOTHING like trying to get the Profilux W-lan.

Seems to be all up and running.

Only bummer is not being able to log in from a Mac, but no big deal.

Now i gotta figure out all the cool stuff about it...to DA forum i go!

Thanks for all the help guys.

Jr, if it is net based you SHOULD be able to get in from a Mac.... What does it say?

 

[JuniorMC8704]

well that and accessing it remotely....i guess i spoke too soon...im too tired to get it going tonight, i guess tomorrow is another day.

Did you setup the port forwarding in your router? Once that is setup you should be able to use your routers IP to get in.
