*How Stupid Am I? *

[ICB]

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 feels better.

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



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.
