And to answer your questions.... Your PC should work as it did when it was straight to the modem i.e. when you power up the internet should just be on in the background (No login, No additional steps). And if all else fails, turn everything off, put your cables as they where, then power the modem up first followed by any other device you want. |

Re: Netgear N150 Cable Router set up - help required
OK well I seem to be up and running. Did as advised and it all went very simply. This PC is connected by ethernet so I won't be testing the wi-fi side for now but hopefully it's there and will work when we need it.
Thanks so much to Masque and ZrByte for the advice and patience! :tu: ps. Can anyone tell me how my wife can log onto the network via her LG GT540 Optimus phone as that's probably the only wireless device we'll want to use in the near future. TVM as always. |

Re: Netgear N150 Cable Router set up - help required
Well all seems to be running OK via ethernet but how do I check if the wireless side is set up OK. I can't find any option to "search for available networks" so how do I do this using this PC (XP SP3) or indeed on our other PC (W7)? Cheers as always. :tu:

Cheers matey. The other PC wasn't connected to the router/modem at all yet so I just turned it on and found the network search icon as you said then found our new network. Maybe this PC isn't wi-fi enabled after all and that's why I can't find anything about wi-fi network search.

D-Link DIR-615 operating settings
Now I've set up the router's password and it's all up and running, do I need to worry about any other security related or other settings? I was wondering if it's a good idea to change the key periodically and I'm pretty sure I've heard about firewall settings with these things but I haven't got a clue what to do about that. So can anyone tell me if there's anything else I need to do and/or be aware of whilst using this setup?
Many thanks as always. :tu: |
