Cable Forum - View Single Post - Set up Wireless connection

I am trying to get wireless working at my girlfriends house.

They have Virgin broadband already working.

Current set up is using a black box which has a port for the broadband and a BLUE RJ45 from the black box into the ethernet port on back of pc. No problems.

My friend has a Netgear 614 v6 wireless router.

I plugged a yellow RJ45 cable from netgear to cable box, and then the blue cable from Netgear router into PC.

Result - no internet. I could not access the internet any more and could not even get access to netgear set up using ip address 192.168.0.1 which is what I use on my home router ( non cable)

I guess there is a problem with ip addresses or something.

I have gone back to the single black box connection which I had to power everything down and restart to get ip address sorted.

So can anyone please tell me what I need to do that I have missed out.

Many thanks

Carl
