Etherfast Wired cable/dsl router

This is my first router setup which I have just now got working
Well .............anyway both pc's are on the net o'k for the moment!

But I ddn't configure any settings because I didn't receive any info from VM as to whether I'm on dynamic or static ip
The selector was on choose ip automatically so I left eveything else as it was and saved.

How do I find out which without ringing them tomorrow and if I'm on static how do I find the settings to enter please?

You won't be on static.

Leave the router set to "Obtain IP automatically" (dynamic) & you'll be fine.

If you havent done so already, you can sort out any preferences and settings by pointing your Internet browser to: 192.168.1.1

Thanks Matt that makes it simple!

Yes thankyou I went into that address they are the settings I was asking about - mostly pretty meaningless to me!

Beacause of sudden drastic slowdowns to less than dial up speed I've had to turn modem and router off and reset up twice in the last 4 days

any ideas?

Inbetween those two instances working fine!

*EDIT 1
Its not the router I just bypassed it and connected direct through the modem and its just as slow.
Hope this isn't going to be ongoing typical experience of VM broadband - no outages reported for my area on their update line

They're too busy on the phone right now to get through on 151

*EDIT 2* finally got through they ran a check and connection to modem with and without pc connected is 60% so they'll check local network or send engineeer out if needed.
