*How Stupid Am I? *

OK, heres your chance to take a shot at me....




I just spent about 2 hrs. trying to hook up a wireless router here at my house and failed.
:furious2:
I'm so fucken pissed off and aggrivated, frustrated at this shit.
To make matters worst I thought to myself...
"Fuck it I'll call Time Warner and have someone sent over. Well the fuckers wanted to help me over the phone. I'm like NO MUTHAFUCKA I don't need help over the phone I need someone here to physically do it"

Then they started asking me about FFI's and Web-something and EHTTP.
I'm like wait a fucken minute did you not just hear me that I can't do this shit. :furious2:

I just hung up and now I'm starring at the Neatgear Wireless Router thinking why are you so difficult. :(

My next step is to phone Neatgear and see what the fuck they can do for me.

So let me hear it, how stupid Am I thank I can't hook up a wireless router? :dunce:

do you want me to call you?! haha

you're not dumb.. networks, while simple, are tedious and the smallest thing will fuck it up..

i'd suggest searching on youtube for some How To vids.. they have it for everything, i bet you can find something.

you're incredibly stupid, but not because of this. ;D

seriously, they aren't always easy to get going. I worked on one for a f'in year, and it's now sitting in a box in the attic. Even my cousin, who's pretty self-taught crafty with computer shit couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Making the attempt is more than I would do. Whenever I get a new gadget I am afraid to use it because I think it will be a lemon or break in my hands.

When I first got my new PC I was afriad to surf the web because I thought a trogan would latch on and ruin my system. It took me a few months before I was comfrtable doing anything on it.

How stupid? Somewhere between K. Dunderhead and a mollusk.

Hmmm, my son set it up here in no time. ;)

But in all seriousness, I couldn't hook it up for $hit, if I had to.

Just ask Danny, I am a computer moron. :yes:

I drive him crazy when he tries to teach me things on the computer. :hypnotized:

Thanks.

This is the router I'm trying to set up...

WNR834B - RangeMax Wireless-N Router

Your not stupid there very hard to set up me not knowing anything about computers or etc i had to get my friends, my family etc you name it i especially had trouble setting it up when i used to play online games that was a pain i can tell you.

I have a nice setup. 9 computers, a Wii and Xbox 360. Print server. WPA and MAC ID security and a repeater on top of it.

It is not a complicated setup by any means, but with 4 people living in the house it is a little over the top, but it is great for having small lan parties as four of them are in the basement alone.

Im not allowed near anything electrical in my house the last two video /dvd units that dared to fuk with me got taken outside and treated with the baseball bat. Its great therapy. If you get something repaired it only fuks up within a year and its wasted money, this way :bashtroll4cx4:feels better.

I have two Laptops.

A Macbook Pro (Beautiful Machine)

And a Compaq 6710B (not great, but setup with dual boot between XP professional and Vista Enterprise.)

Hey mick did you end up getting it figured out? Sometimes like the others said the smallest thing can throw it off. Were you able to get to the routers actual settings?

Wadeb,
I'm at work now.

But to make it even more laughable I got stuck on step 3.

Step.1 - Open box
Step.2 - Insert WizardSetUp disc
Step.3 - Follow Instructions

;D

When I inserted the disc to help me set it up it tells me that it's picking up (2) routers. Meaning (2) connections but how? If I only have (1) that's hard wire which is connected by Modem. How can it say it's picking up (2)?

first thing I would do is go to your router make sure your modem is connected to your router, then just for the time being hard wire your router to your laptop just to set up the router/wireless network. Once your hardwired go to your computer and get on your internet browser and put in the following address 192.168.1.2 (I think that is netgears standard address for there routers, if not you may need to look at the instructions to see what address it is) press enter and that should take you to the routers internal settings. Once in there its pretty much up to you with what you want to do, If I remember correctly on lefthand side is where the setup wizard is and all the other settings you can manual change are underneath the setup wizard. I think all you really need to do is name your wireless network, give it a password so no-one else can piggyback off your network and I think that might be it, its been awhile since I set one up.

Have you tried disabling the WEP key? Maybe you havn't entered it correctly.

Is your connection showing up at all but with a locked padlock, or is it not even highlighting?

Can't you connect it with a cable for now to make them at least connect, then eliminate what the problems might be one by one?

hahahahaha..... i set mine up here and it was all in german the ip website and the CD as well and i couldn't understand a word of german at the time... didnt take long though ;D:lickish:;D

but mick it will be the IP set up as stated above... i'm guessing they are showing 2 routers because they are giving you a choice of what you would like to set up, wireless or wired ;)

good luck you dummy :-X
