Hi

I am sure this has been discussed before, so I apologise in advance.

I have recently purchased a Dyamode BR-6004 W-G1 802.11 Wireless AP Router from the Virgin website, so I could share my Broadband connection
wirelessly.

My modem is linked to the computer with a USB connection.

I have followed the instructions given with the new router. I don't have any problem getting access to the configuration website (192.168.1.1).

The problem is I do not have any (normal) internet connection. (I hope that makes sense)

If I go into the Control Panel/Network connections, there are two local area connections, one for the Modem and one I guess for the router. The only way I can get a connection to the internet is by disabling the router connection.

I have tried lots of different ways of powering up the system, i.e. Router/modem/PC or modem/Router/PC but nothing works.

I powered up the Laptop, and it looks like it can see the router (it appears as default), it seems like there is a good signal, but it doesn't let me on the the internet.

Sorry if this is all a bit vague, but I am not very computer literate.

Hopefully it is just a case of me doing something wrong, rather than a major issue.

Any help is gratefully received.

Many thanks.
