wireless routers help.
Turbo Mini Forums

santa brought one of my girls a wireless router,
it says plug it into the dsl filter with one lead on the fone line , then use the other from the router back into my computer, but the lead they supply to go into my computer dosn't fit , i am assuming they mean put it into a usb port , but its a different fitting , is it because mines old and the new lead is up to date,also it dosn't say what to do with my existing modem.i am using wanadoo broadband
am i making sence??.
bloddy computers ,i hate em!!!!!.

Is it a wireless router and modem in one, or just a router
?

sounds like (i think its called) an ethernet connection

i think you need a network card in the pc, there could be one there already. Its an area that looks like the normal phone line connection but is a slightly different fit.

dont worry about the modem, that is no longer needed

or you could get a usb wireless widget that just plugs in and use the pc wirelessly


........I think....

i think some pics or model numbers/makes are needed along with what equipment you are replacing is needed to give accurate usefull help.

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

it will be ethernet like Nic sais.

it' s a Belkin ADSL modem with wireless router,
so i assume i dump the wanadoo modem and plug this thing in ,so i need a different lead from router to computer do i?? or do i mget some king of adaptor??.
it does say earthernet on the box,

Your going to need an Ethernet card in your PC if you don't already have one.

im running the same set up

you dont need the wanadoo thing anymore

do you have an ethernet lead?

look for an ethernet connection on the back of your computer, the symbol is a line with 2 squares below it and one on top

not the best pic but look at this:

this shows the connections on my laptop

on the right is the ethernet connection, middle is modem phone line, end is 2x usb ports

you either want to run an ethernet lead from the router to your pc

-or if you havent got one of those fit a network card, get a wireless usb thing that will allow you to connect to the router wirelessly

oh doodmiester used posted whilsts i was tapping away

thanks men , doodmieater is showing the socket that i dod not have on the back of my pc, it about 5 years old now , how do i gat one of these fitted or is there a way around this, the socket you are showing is like the lead i got to connect my wireless thing to my npc ,this must be the earthnet lead then,?

one more thing too fella's. i just bought my wife a laptop notepad thingy, i was wondering how to get internet access for it but one of my girls has turned it on and it says there is a wireless connection available ,or words to that effect ,whats going on??. so we tried it and it works.
