Hi!
For some weeks now I am trying unsuccessfully to move to a wireless router Draytek Vigor 2500we.
Currently we are using Tp-Link 3402m which was not set-up by me. It is connected to the cable modem by ethernet cable.
I have tried the procedures on
http://www.draytek.co.uk/support/cable_setup.html
inc the foolproof method - to no avail.
It seems the problem is the router cannot obtain ip from ntl or maybe there is some conflict between the DHCPs. When I turn off the DHCP server function of the router I can connect to internet, however it works as if there is no router at all: one computer has 82.... ip and is fine, all others are 169.... Besides I cannot access the router setup page anymore (192.168.1.1) and I have to do hardware reset to fix that.
If DHCP is on, i get proper 192.... ips on all computers, but the router online status window shows no data and i cannot ping outside servers.
LEDs are all ok. i connect modem to one of the 1-4 ports because if i put it in the adsl port (which i thought initially is eqiuvalent to the old routers wan port
) i dont have the ethernet indicator lit. a friend told me it should work if i turn off the ppp dialing, but it still doesnt. i dont mind that anyway.
Help much appreciated! Tell me if you need further details.

You are here: 
to the forum. However, I may have some bad news for you. From what you have posted, plus a quick google, I think you have a wireless ADSL router/modem. This will not work with an NTL cable connection, as it has a built-in ADSL modem. ADSL is a different technology.
