Wireless router set up HELP!
Comments
-
I have exactly the same trouble, took my ADSL modem out of the loop, and put my shiny new wireless router in using EXACTLY the same cable - can't detect my adsl line like that but as soon as i restore the old modem BINGO.
Thought it may be a router fault and exchanged that at the shop !!!
Still the same problem?
Thanks

When I changed my ADSL modem, I also changed the cable on my system to use the one supplied with the new wireless modem/router. The old cable only had 2 connections at its end whereas the new cable supplied had 4 - so I didn't think the cables were interchangeable. Am I wrong?0 -
Same problem with either !!!0

No - using the one i've always used (wasn't a new one in adsl router box)0

just a thought.. is there a hardware switch or option to turn on the modem? it may come configured to run just as a router and needs the modem option switching on.0

nope - autodetects each thing plugged in - steady light for ethernet (hard wired to desktop) Wlan light on - DSL light just flashes

The old modem on my system used a 2 pin RJ11 connection whilst the new one has a 4 pin (2-5) connection. The old microfilter only had 2 pins (3-4) so I changed it for the 4 pin connector.
Can't say this will apply in every case, but it's a thought :think:
How many pins you got?
EDIT: Ignore me. On second thoughts this is probably just spare capacity!0 -
My adsl splitter has a 2 pin connection....
my old adsl modem 2 pin -
old cable 2 pin
new cable also 2 pin so i guess its 2 pin all round

Sounds like the WAN (ADSL) connection cannot synch.
Check you have PPoA set, with VPI/VCI set to 0/38, encapsulation set to VCMux and authentication set to CHAP.
In your WAN System Status or logs what error/status messages are you getting when you try to connect?
:cool:
