Not silly questions at all - I'm not too up on this.

When I turned the SH to modem mode I did not also power off the SH as I thought by it changing to purple it had all worked ok, but I did subsequently turn the power off.

The Ethernet cable into the SH is in the furthest left socket - I assume that is socket 1.

Having done that I got back into dlink settings (now connected via 3G) and pressed the reboot button on left of screen. It said it would take about 30 seconds but then the pop up came to access a wireless network and first of all I pressed dlink, but it said I couldn't connect. When it popped up again I pressed cancel, and shortly after the wireless bars were showing at top of screen, but it just got to 0 seconds and hung. I did then change back to 3G but the process still didn't seem to complete. Should I get back to dlink settings again and cancel if wireless pop up comes up?

I should say that all the above has involved me trying to connect with an ipad.
