Wireless router problem
 

Just got ADSL and bought a DM602 Netgear modem. This to replace the Wanadoo speedtouch modem. The DM602 connects fine to the net, but when I hook it to my wireless netgear router (WGT624) I can't get a connection.

Any ideas anyone ?

If all the componants (PC, router, modem) are wired together, can you connect then? Because you need to make sure you can run like that before going wireless.

Yep, all 3 connected, currently all wired i.e. modem has RJ45 to router, router has RJ45 to PC.

Have you tried pining yor IP address.

Don't ask me how too do it give net gear customer support a call I had the same problem

you should have the ip address in the instructions. click run then ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where x is a number
if ip address not available type 'cmd' in the run program, then type 'ipconfig' - you'll find the ip address there

Does your router use the standard Netgear trick of being accessed via a browser going to IP address 192.168.0.1? If so, what happenes when you do?

Some now use 192.168.1.1

Yes it does, 192.168.0.1 gives me access to the router. I think the router needs to assume the address of the modem somehow.

Ash, go into the routers settings, go to your primary connection, and there should be a menu or check box showing connection type, ie; pppoe, dhcp, pppoa etc. Select pppoe, and then enter your username and password in the relevent box, save it and you should be there.

I have set up a 604 Dlink router wirelessly before now.
