Wireless Broadband.

    I have recently signed up to Digiweb wireless broadband - great stuff.
    I could have waited for eircom.......... but that migh have taken a little too long.

    My connection works well when I hard wire the connection into my laptop.

    However when I introduce a wireless router for my home network, I cannot connect to the web.

    The wireless router is a dell truemobile 2300.
    I have set up the router according to Digiweb specs, using static IP address's etc.

    I can ping from my laptop (wirelessly) the router & the roof antenae but no further.

    Also I cannot access the web from my router even if I hardwire my laptop to the router.

    Can anyone help my correctly configure my setup ?

    Anyhelp would be largely appreciated.
    Thanks
    John.

    Have I tried setting the original modem to gateway.....

    I only have a dell router and a digiweb connection, the digiweb connection cannot be configured. The Router can....

    This weekend I managed to get the internet connection when I plugged the internet connection into a lan port, and hardwired my laptop to another lan port on the dell router.

    This was a small victory. But I still connot wirelessly browse the web.
    However after reading your post I think my next move is to set the router up as a access point rather than gateway......

    This should work.

    wish me luck...... :ninja:
