Quick question, where did you get the router from? I only ask as some ISPs (e.g sky) have their own software burnt into them which restricts use to themselves.
Sorry if its an irrelevant question.

from amazon

GRRRRR :mad:

Unlugged modem just tried to log in with router, ie cannot display this page, ran connection problem wizard it said switch off router for 3 minutes , did that still nothing , the adsl light came on on the router as it should.

In the instructions it says pc needs to be configured for DHCP, I dont know what that means or if it is, and the other thing is when i check the LAN connection it ic connected but it says connected to realtek RTL 8139 family pcif , but the router is a netgear?? so is that right?

I have finally managed to register it with router login, but it says the dns address cannot be obtained automatically, please enter it?

what do i put

thanks

At last.

Either use the DNS quoted on your ISP's website support pages or use openDNS which is:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Try -
Tiscali Primary DNS Server 212.74.112.66
Tiscali Secondary DNS Server 212.74.112.67

This is doing my head in, when i go to routerlogi now it automatically redirects me to the netgear page??? not giveing me an option to input anything.

I think i might just send the thing back.

Even when you enter http://192.168.0.1 into your browsers address bar?

No it doesnt do anything when i put in http://192.168.0.1, but ive just realised that i had the speedtouch unplugged when i got into it and now its plugged back in, so will just have the router and try again now,

Thanks, again for your help guys:beer:

There are two different username/passwords that need to be entered. The first is to log into the routers set-up screens and the second is your ISP's username and password.

Did you enter your ISP details (case sensitive) into a box like this and click Apply?

Remember to completely disconnect and unplug your USB modem before trying to connect the Netgear. You won't be able to connect if you are already connected.
