Hi, I am trying to set up a home network and am going round in circles (literally) !! Here is what I have:
PC
Running Windows XP
Wireless Card
Connected to wireless modem
Can use ethernet to connect to router or wireless card
Laptop
Windows vista
internal wireless card
Modem / Internet
Bigpond Wireless - USB wireless broadband modem
Router
Netgear DG834G which is a router and a modem
So, I am assuming that I cannot use the DG834G modem as I am running wireless internet and not ADSL.
Can I still set up the network without using the router as a modem? If so - how do I do it?? When I start to run the setup disk it automatically assumes I am using it as a modem and overrides the wireless modem. When It connects to netgear it then tells me that no ADSL connection is available and I cannot go any further with the set up.
Hope this is enough info. Any help would be appreciated....
Thanks.Home network with wireless internet?
I am a little confused by the function of all the devices: it seems you have a wired router/modem (Netgear) and a wireless router/modem (Bigpond).
You can enter setup menus for your devices from browsers by following a link like this http://192.168.1.1 You should be able to disable the modem function from a menu selection.
I think your issues stem from two sources of DHCP. You must decide where you want the DHCP to come from and turn it off in the other device: ie, your router becomes a switch and DHCP comes from the router/modem.Home network with wireless internet?
u should log to netgear router and read ur network name , u should know the WEP key
and then u go avaliable wireless network
and click on ur network name
and click connect , and add the WEP key
better call 888NETGEAR
sure
but sometimes with wireless internet other people can use your internet and make it slow
