Linksys Router and NTL 250 MODEM
HI,
Having problems with setting up router with modem i plug everything in normally and all the lights come up except the number '1'. Any ideas how to fix this and do i have to take the usb out of the modem? ;) |
Re: Linksys Router and NTL 250 MODEM
it be better if u tell us which model router u using
and you shouldn't be using any USB connections does the NTL 250 modem have USB?? with the number 1 light, i suspect u are saying the number 1 light on the router correct?? it only lights up if u have a ethernet cable connected to a working (turned on) network card or whatever if u put more info here i would expect the more techie minded people will be able to help u |

Thanks,
The model of the router is Linksys WRT54GS Speedbosster v5 and yes the NTL Modem has a usb and agaqin yes the number 1 light on the router. How can u turn on the network card? |
Re: Linksys Router and NTL 250 MODEM
The WAN light should be on on the router, as the modem needs to be plugged into the WAN port.
If the modem is plugged into the WAN port, and the light is not on, then it could be a dodgy cable or ethernet port. |

Please be aware that you can't use the USB and ethernet ports on the modem at the same time. Remove the USB, plug in the ethernet to the WAN port, reboot/start the modem, reboot/start the router and then finally reboot/start the PC's

as Toto said
u connect the modem to the routers WAN socket with ethernet lan cable then u connect your PC and/or other device to the 1-4 ports also with a ethernet lan cable USB cable should not be used at all then power down all the equipment and turn them on 1by1 in order of modem -> routher -> PC and other devices and with the 1-4 number lights only if the corresponding sockets are connected and used will they turn on |

Re: Linksys Router and NTL 250 MODEM
Do you have an ethernet cable connecting the modem to the router WAN port?
Do you have another ethernet cable connecting the computer ethernet port to one of the LAN ports on the router? |
Re: Linksys Router and NTL 250 MODEM
Yes,
I have one connecting from Modem to Internet Port on router and the other ethernet connects to Port 1 to the Computer Port Labelled LAN |

IIRC in XP you right click 'my computer' & choose device manager from the drop down In Vista do 'start', control panel, device manager - you are looking for the 'network adapter' & choose yours from the list & select properties .. |
Re: Linksys Router and NTL 250 MODEM
Im using Xp but there is no device manager when i right click it. I open it and comes up with hard disk drives.

Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance then System or System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager.
