Due to a lightening strike in my area certain items of equipment fail to work. One was my Netgear Router so I bought a new one and that did not work in that no port lights lit up. I now find that my ethernet port is not working.
I thought I could bypass this by buying a wireless adaptor but It appears that I need the ethernet connection to be able to enable the wireless on the router (but my ethernet port does not work). It's the catch22 situation.
