Linksys wireless problem

    Hi guys.

    I am trying to set up a wireless broadband in my house.

    I hav NTL broadband installed already and hav bought a Linksys ADSL home gateway. The guy in the shop told me this is what i needed!

    The problem is though the computer tells me that the pc can detect the router nd the signal is strong but the router can detect the internet!

    I hav an 'ENET' wire running from the back of my broadband box into the linskys box, i think i maybe missing cables or just doing something wrong!

    Any help would be great its driving me mad!!

    Cheers

    I have a Linksys Wireless g router running NTL broadband. No problems.
    I had heard that there might be a compatibility issue but there wasn't.

    The first time you set up the wi-fi network, you need to connect the router to your pc to configure the system (one cable from modem to router, another from router to PC ).

    If that doesn't get you going, Linksys have good online support ..... if you connect the ntl modem to your pc and get on to them that way, they should be able to point you in the right direction. They'll also talk you through securing the wi fi router signal which is recommended.

    If in fact you have a linksys adsl router then it may be that you have the wrong model for what you want to do. Could you give the model no of the linksys? If it is an adsl router then it is geared for phone broadband.

    The model no would help a lot.
