I'm afraid all this uninstalling, installing sounds a bit drastic to me (bit of a techno phob!!!). If i forget about the router and just attempt to access the internet via ethernet rather than usb is there an easy work round if the ethernet connection on the modem is broken. I should add that the modem is probably about 4 years old and we have always connected via usb

thanks to all

just plugged the ethernet cable into the back of the pc and then into the router (didn't plug into the modem) and the little internet light on the netgear router came on - is that good news?
