Well - assuming your already have an ISP (and its not dial-up) and a wireless card for your pc.  Plug your RJ21 phone line in to your router and your and power it on.  From there you should be able to log on to your router. Go to start/run and type cmd then do an ipconfig and you you see your default gateway be something like 192.168.1.1 type this in to your browser and you should be able to connect to your router and from there you will be able to set security options.\n\nBTW it should have come w/ a manual that should have step-by-step instuctions.

Set it up like you would with normal DSL.  \n\n1. Run the cat 5 (standard networking cable) from the DSL RJ45 jack in your wall, to the back of your router in the spot labeled "Internet".  \n\n2. Then after ensuring that you have your power cables plugged in (and 3 lights are on on your router), \n\n3. make sure your wireless card in plugged into your computer (make sure your computers off).  \n\n4. Then turn on your computer.  It'll read the router and hook you up to the net. \n\n5. Go to Start\n\n6. Run\n\n7. CMD\n\n8. type ipconfig\n\n9. look at your ip address\n\n10. Open your web browser and type in http://your.ip.address.here\n\n11. That will bring up your router, and from here you can configure it.\n\nenjoy.

To do "ipconfig", once you have your PC connected to one of the 4 ports in the router and the modem in the Internet port, go to DOS (click Start, go to Run then type cmd in the bar, click Okay).\njust type ipconfig where the blinking cursor is and you should get the IP address of the PC, gateway which is the router an subnet mask.  If you type ipconfig/all you can also find the DNS which is from your ISP, meaning you are connected to them.\n\nRegarding configuring the router - unfortunately, you didn't metion what modem you have. Some modems may need the router configure in a slightly different way. If your SBC connection is PPPoE try this, meaning if your PC is connected direct to your modem and you need to log on to the internet using a connection manager (in other words, you need to enter username and password):\n\n1.) Power off both modem and router.\n2.) Plug the ethernet cable from your modem to the internet port of the router and one computer to one of the 4 ports.\n3.)Power up modem, wait for the light to stabilize (or when DSL light is lit) - this indicates your modem has established communication to your ISP.\n4.)Power up your router.\n5.)On your computer open IE browser and hit the stop button (or F5) to stop it from getting online. You just need to use the browser to get to the router page and configure.\n6.)In the address bar (NOT search bar) , type 192.168.1.1 and hit Enter. It will prompt you for the username and password of the router - leave the username blank, type admin for the password (if you had used the CD previously, this may not work - try the password you had entered before).\n7.)Once the router page is up - choose PPPoE for Internet login type.\n8.)Enter the username and password your internet provider gave you. You may need to type the username in email format (e.g. name@sbcglobal.com).\n9.)Select Keep alive.\n10.)Save settings.\n11.)Click to Status tab (at the upper far right of the Linksys page). It should show you're connected. You should also have values for IP address and DNS Servers. If not, click connect. If an error comes up - "Authentication Failed" means either you mistyped your username or password, or both.\n12.)If you get "Cannot connect to PPPoE server" your modem and router may have the same (LAN) IP address. You need to go back to Setup page and look for router's IP address (it will show 192.168.1.1). Change it to 192.168.2.1 or 10.10.10.1 - save settings on the router. Restart your computer, if you know how to release and renew the IP of your PC, you can do that instead. Then follow steps 5, 6 and 11.\n\nIf you don't need to use a connection manager and your ISP did not give you a username and password for your account, try this:\n\n1.) Power off both modem and router.\n2.) Plug the ethernet cable from your modem to the internet port of the router and one computer to one of the 4 ports.\n3.)Power up modem, wait for the light to stabilize (or when DSL light is lit) - this indicates your modem has established communication to your ISP.\n4.)Power up your router.\n5.)On your computer open IE browser and hit the stop button (or F5) to stop it from getting online. You just need to use the browser to get to the router page and configure.\n6.)In the address bar (NOT search bar) , type 192.168.1.1 and hit Enter. It will prompt you for the username and password of the router - leave the username blank, type admin for the password (if you had used the CD previously, this may not work - try the password you had entered before).\n7.)Click to Status tab (at the upper far right of the Linksys page). It should show you're connected. You should also have values for IP address and DNS Servers. \n8.)If not, you need to go back to Setup page and look for router's IP address (it will show 192.168.1.1). Change it to 192.168.2.1 or 10.10.10.1 - save settings on the router. Restart your computer, if you know how to release and renew the IP of your PC, y

Things to check for:\n1. Is the wireless access point connected to your router (unless the access point and the router are in the same unit)?\n2. Do both computers have valid IP addresses (and valid network masks and gateway addresses)?  These must either be set by hand, or else you set the computers for DHCP (but that only works if either the router or your ISP is providing the DHCP service -- to make the router offer DHCP service you would have to turn on "NAT" in the router).\n3. Can each computer ping the other?

Call netgear tech service.\nIt would be sure you are getting the right information.\nIt all depends what operating system you have,and the router you have may not be communicating.\nGood luck. Don't waste time.\nGo direct to the right source.

You might have to go into the configuration, IDK if you have done it yet or not because you didn't specify. But go into your internet explorer and type in http://192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.100 and you might have to enable wireless through that. I have had that same one, I now moved to the WRTG5B or some shit. =) lol. . . You have to enable wireless, to test if your router is even working if you have an extra network cable, plug it into the router then hook it up to the laptop and see. It also could be for the fact I think that specific router is only B capable? Maybe...check your laptop to see if it is both B & G wireless ready.

Try to get in to your router page again. Just launch Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.1. The username is <blank> and the password is "admin". If you're using a DSL connection, look for internet connection type and change it to PPPOE.  Type in the username and password provided by your ISP. If you don't know what it is contact your ISP.\n\nIf you're using a cable connection, under <Setup> click on the subcategory <MAC Address Clone>. Click on <Enable> and then click on clone your PC's MAC. Then click on <Save Settings>. \n\nIf these steps does not work, turn off your modem,unplug the router from the power and turn off the computer as well (the one directly connected to the router. After powering off everything, wait for 20 seconds and then turn on the modem first. Wait for the lights to go stable and then power up the router, wait for 15 seconds then turn on the computer. \n\nIf this still won't work try to call up linksys.

if your router is linksys, using 192.168.1.1 and no username with 'admin' as password.\n\nif your router is netgear, using 192.168.0.1 and username is 'admin' with 'password' as password.\n\nOther than linksys, for example, belkin uses 192.168.0.1.\n\nPlease go to the attached web link, it has all vendor default password and username. \n\nYou may also want to look up or download your router manual where they will show you how to open port under your router.\n\nNormally, most vendor offer a page called 'port forwarding', click there, and then fill in the port you like to open and which computer you want to link to, remember you also need to open the same port under windows firewall on that particular computer (else it will blocked).

Some older laptop have a switch on its side, turn it on to use wireless.\nIf your wireless hardware on you laptop is not faulty, you should see more than 1 host showing unless you dont have a lot neighbour around\nOr check the following info and you have to know how to check them on your laptop too\nmake sure your laptop have the same setting with the router\n1. the channel\n2. the wep key \n3. the ssid \n4. the router is not filtering out other machine by MAC address, otherwise you have to get your wireless MAC address to add in the router setting\n5. use release button and renew button on router config. page to assign address.\nIf still no, use a cable instead of wireless link to access the router config page, check the above again, do necessary change.\nIf your laptop detects signal, go to start run type "cmd" ok, then in the black window type "ipconfig /release" enter, then "ipconfig /renew" enter you should get connected.

You need to use a pppoe or pppoa client to be able to connect to your ISP over ADSL/cable using your username/password.\n\nI provided links for free pppoe clients, follow the instructions.

connect to the router using a computer that is already connecting to the router...i.e. computer connected wiredly. usually...depending on the router...you connect using web browser...and in the address type in 192.168.0.1 and it should connect to your router...then set up the router to send wireless signals for your computer to connect wirelessly. Then on your computer, search for access point and connect...and there you go your connected

if the router has an web interface you can configure it by connecting it via a utp cable to your computer and using youre browser. If it doesn't have one you nhave to configure it from console (usually you connect to the router via a serial port). Read the instructions that come with your router

Connect the routers "internet" port into the cord coming from the DSL modem. If your DSL provider uses PPPOE authentication you will need to configure your router to work with it. You can edit this in your router's configuration page which can be accessed by going to internet explorer and typing its ip address (192.168.1.1 on linksys routers or 192.168.0.1 on dlink) in the address bar. When you hit enter you will be prompted for a password and username. The default for this is typically username:admin password:admin. There will be a section in the configuration where you can add this. Otherwise i would check your physical connections and reset your DSL modem after you connect the router by unplugging it and plugging it back in.\n\nHope this helps :)

Make sure to check the router option to connect automatically.\n\nIt is the first element in the WAN setup options screen.\n\nIf that doesn't solve it, make sure both the router and modem are connected to a good regulating power bar.  \n\nThis said, don't expect industrial quality for 50$.

i am guessing this isnt your router that you are connecting to. Just because there is a wireless router does not necessarily mean there is internet service.

Did you try looking at the settings in 192.168.1.1?\n\nType that in your browser and it should come up for setting configuration.
