Dynamode BR 6004 help
 

I am at a total loss.
My Dynamode BR 6004 is connecting to my cable modem fine. My computer is seeing the router fine. the computer can connect to the internet via an ethernet cable into the router but it just will not connect if I do it via airport.

I'm on a MiniMac. There are no instructions for this but I've set up all my DHCP and IP addresses correctly. The WAN light is flashing.

Anyone got any solutions? I've spent about 3 hours trying to figure this out, with multiple restarts but still no luck.

thanks

I dunno much about the airport (macintosh) setups. Are you trying without any encryption in the wireless. Once a connection is established you can start to add other stuff in. Is the airport drivers enabled and current? Are there any firewalls? Is the router wireless on a channel that airport can work with? Does airport even know there is a wireless network it can use?

I've actually spoken to someone on a helpline about this (cost me £10.50!) who eventually told me that it was broken - was very helpful but that's the way it goes.

but to let you know - i tried both with encryption and without. The computer was seeing the router wirelessly and was logging on - that wasn't really the issue. The problem was that even though it would connect to the router wirelessly, it wouldn't connect to the internet. it would only connect if i plugged an ethernet cable into the router.

Anyway, it's being sent back. I'm going to get a Mac Airport as they are specifically designed for macs and i'm pretty fed up with the fact that neither BT nor Virgin offer proper mac support, regardless of how many people in the UK now own apple computers. totally ridiculous!

Well, if you could wireless to the router but not through it, that sounds like either a fault or mis-set access controls, and they would not be set by default.

Found a picture and recognized the style immediately, it's an Admtek 5120 (most likely), same chassis as edimax & sweex.
