    Hi,

    Sorry if this isn't the correct place to ask this. If not, let me know where and I'll go there.

    I've just started my 3 month trial and also have a Linksys WAP54G Access Point.

    After an hour or so of trying things out can I assume that I cannot plug it into the Ethernet port of the Modem? I use the USB to connect to my computer.

    I also have two network cards in my computer but with the WAP54G plugged into that, the modem gets ignored.

    Maybe I'll just bring hom my 8 port router and plug everything into that instead.

    Hmmmm, have I just answered my own question? :D

    I have the exact same set up. Do you not connect your zykel using network.
    Anyways you dont even need either of them connected to your pc as long as you have a wireless card in your pc.

    PM me if you need help on the set up.

    Couple of rules though


    use static ip on your linksys but leave dhcp enabled and use static ips on your pc
    the gateway is your modem ip address as is your dns and this applies to both your pc and your linksys

    Finally connect from the back of your modem by network cable to port 1 on your linksys ignore the internet port



    NTl and WAP

    I think trying this for your ntl one as well might work even though no experience with that model
