NTL ethernet broadband, but cant get router to work.
|
|
I recently had ntl fitted and opted to use a wireless connection. I purchased a belkin ADSL router with wireless g adaptor. I assumed that i just plugged the ethernet cable in the port on the back of the router, and plugged the usb g adaptor into the usb port on the back of my computer. I thought once i had done this it that it would all work. However the only way i can connect is to plug the set top box straight into my computer. I need a wireless connection as the set top box is downstairs and my computer has to go upstairs.

Thanks for the info. I have been out and bought a wireless g desktop network card.
I can get the router and my computer to connect but i still cant use the internet. I have been on the pages for my router that you explained on the thread you asked me to read and it is all the same apart from when i click on Dynamic ip address there is nowhere to type in NTL. Any ideas.

I've got a Belkin too and mine didn't work at first. In an obscure bit of the handbook it says that siting the router near a cordless landline base-station can cause a problem. Luckily NTL left me plenty of wire length on the modem, so I moved it and it now works fine. Could this be your problem?

Have you updated the router firmware?
Start off by saving your initial router configuration and the click up Firmware update
It may well be that you don't need to identify NTL on the router, in which case, apply the changes
