Connect the Cable Modem to the WAN port (RJ45 connection)of the wireless router. Setup of the Wireless router and the laptop to use the same SSID and define whether or not you'd like to use encription. If you choose encryption, ensure the laptop  has the same encryption key and the router.

I have three PC's networked with a wireless router at home. (Netgear 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router). This router is a combination of five products - ADSL 2 +modem+router+firewall+802.11g access point and a four port Ethernet switch.\n\nTwo of the comps are wireless connected, while one is wired. The wireless connected PC's have a wireless antenna each that receives the signals.\n\nHas the installation and configuration been done correctly?\nWhy not ask your new router vendor to look into the problem?\n\nAs far as the cable outlets are concerned, the jack has to crimped on to the wire and then connected, else use an adaptor. Repeat for this too Why not ask your new router vendor to look into the problem?\n\n(My arrangement cost me about Rs.6000/- in India, that's about US$130 to 150/- and included free installation by the vendor, including a wire of 5 meter (15 feet) Length and matching jacks at each end - that's about 9 months ago.)\nst\n\nAll da best! Hope this helped!

U said - \n"Plugging the cable modem straight into a computer may work at times, but it may not."\n\nAll the rtr does is pass on the internet conection to a computer(s).If ur connection from comp itself is not working well,BEFW11S4(which is ok)is not to blame.Cable modems need to be power cycled a lot of times.\nSo i wud suggest that the moment u dont get a connection ,immediatel connect the mdm to comp and call comcast,who wud be bound to do sumthing abt then (as the rtr is not involved now)\n\nOR\nif u feel that the rtr's not working properly,,just call Linksys and get them update the firmware(they'l guide u thru it).Also u can insist on getting it replaced,on the grounds of it not working,but u gotto be adamant and make the call longer than 40 minutes.\nP.S. : yeah befw11s4 is an old rtr,,get a wrt54gsx,if possible

You have a few options.  If you want to run an Ethernet cable to the other computer, then you will need a router.  You could get a wireless card for the other computer as well.  You would need a wireless router for that.  Either way you will need a router.\n\nYou will connect the router directly to the modem.  Then each computer will connect to the router.

You can use your current DSL modem and just purchase a wireless router.  The wireless router will have a connection port for an ethernet cable running to your existing DSL modem.  I don't know how I ever lived before my wireless router.  You will really like it.

She'll need a wireless router to connect her modem through. And for the laptop, she'll need a wireless PCMCIA card or wireless USB adapter, preferably from the same manufacturer as the router. If it's a recent laptop it may already have an inbuilt wireless card in it.

Does your DSL router have a pair of antenna?\n\nThe "blue cord" is called a network cable.  It can run from the back of your router to your e-machine.  You e-machine should have a connection for it.  This will let you get on the Internet without being wireless for now.\n\nWhat brand of Westell is it?  that will help determine what you need to do to enable wireless if it can handle wireless connections.

It should look like this ....\n\nInternet cable from Westell Modem --> router\n\n- check your WEP encryption if enabled\n- did you install the drivers and set everything up in the main system?\n- Can the computer see the wireless router (visa versa)

You should specify which model router you have, and what type of computer and operation system software - laptop or desktop, Windows version or Mac OS.\n\nAlso mention what setup you were using to connect when it used to work on wireless.\n\nA telephone modem and Ethernet LAN connection would not generally be a wireless capable device in your computer.  It could be that the icon controlling your WIFI hardware is clicked to the OFF position.  Check each item in the lower right screen system tray using right-click of the mouse.

Linksys sells a 'booster'. Also, they now make routers with built in booster circuitry. It might also be that the 'new' modem is simply bad. Have a tech check it out.
