Hi Aragorn, thanks for replying. I can access the internet when I plug the blue Ethernet cable from the modem directly in the ethernet port at the back of the PC. (Have been on the internet for months this way)

I have a Netgear Wireless Adaptor which has been successfully installed. The problem seems to be when I take the ethernet cable out of the back of the PC and pulg it into the router. (At this stage there is no physical link between the Modem > PC or PC > Router, the only link is from modem to router using the ethernet cable.

The PC can "find" the router and says signal strength is excellent, but I can't actually make a connection - there seems to be lots of settings that the User Manual just doesn't explain.

(I'm sure i've just complicated things further!!)

Can you offer any more advice?
