So mi a try set up a wireless router so mi can access di net from mi laptop. In di process of hooking it up it sheg up di connection between di Vonage and the DSL. Nothing is working....I had to unplug everything and plug the DSL straight in to access the net. I am frustrated. I am going to have to go sleep this one off til tomorrow morning I look again. Any techies have any suggestions?

Re: Me and di PC fall out...
is DSL or FiOS u have?
If is DSL den u need the PPPoE info to put into the router to make it work.. That is what is probably causing the issue.
FiOs doesnt require a real PPPoE but does require that that field be populated.
Contact ur DSL support for the PPPoE entry .If you don't fight for what you deserve, you deserve what you get.

Re: Me and di PC fall out...
Look forward over the posts on in this forum dealing with DSL.
Say what problems you are having.
You may need to log into the router from your PC first, before you attempt a wireless laptop connection.Comment

Re: Me and di PC fall out...
This very general to Broadband setups and not meant to answer your specific questions but as a general overstanding of what you are trying to accomplish when setting up broadband to be distributed by your router.
1. The reason why you want to setup the router to talk to the Modem via your PC is:
· You are basically trying to setup the router to recognize, accept and distribute the signals from the Broadband Modem.
· To do this you log into the Router using the same technology you use to browse web sites.
· You enter the private IP Address, which is generally:
· http://192.168.0.1/
· The reason you don't want to use a wireless connection (generally found on your laptop) is the Wireless broadcast of most shipped routers generally defaults off.
2. After you have setup the router, you want to configure your PC to accept signals from the router. All you need to do is to setup your computer to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or in rare cases you could have setup the router to look for incoming requests based on specific parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, etc.
So now your PC is not concerned with the Broadband Modem, all it is doing is talking back and forth to the router.
3. Assuming you did turn on you Wireless Signals in the router when you first logged in, gave it the channel you want your signals to go out on, determine the ID and the type of encryption (if any). You are now ready to setup your Laptop/Wireless to talk to the Router.
You setup the hardware on the Laptop (wireless Card) to the same ID and Channel on the Modem (you might have to go back and forth between the router a little to make sure both the router and the Laptop can talk to each other on the same Channel, ID settings and maintain the same encryption schema.).
You now go to the Laptop Network Settings and tell your Laptop to use DHCP.
You can fudge the Wireless Settings a bit by telling it to connect ADHoc to any signals it can see without a specific Channel hardwired. You can also tell you network to use any wireless signals (any ID) it sees and to hop back and forth to every signal that gets into your home. This might be good or bad depending on how ways you want to connect.
Conclusion
Technically once you setup your Router to talk to the Broadband Modem you are home free because the rest of the connections are talking to Modem based on the settings in the Router and not to the Modem directly.Comment
