does your old router have wireless?

Janey just check the router like I said.Its fine the wireless router does pick up the usb adaptor.


If is is busted then you can buy a D-Link router they are good enough I have the DI-524.Cheap to.

zinglebarb im confused ?

sorry lost track of answers then jellybean just caught up lol think the router has had it checked all wires etc all seems ok cant check plug as it has no screws its a adapter sort with a lead that goes into router ? so looks like i need a d link router like u said how much are they and mostly plz tell me there easy to install lol ?

Hi janey they are not that much but shop around for a good price.Around £50 a little less if you check a few shops.

Ok how to fit say D-Link.When you put CD in that came with it it will show you were to plug things into.
Turn the wireless router around and look at the back of it.On the right usaly is the power supply.Next to power supply you plug in eiethernet cable to this first port then that cable goes into the modem supplied by your ISP.
The next port on the wireless router you plug another eithernet cable into it and this cable then goes into the back of the main computer.

There are then ports numbered 1-4 these are for any other cable connect computers.

Power on modem and router and computer.Logon on to the computer put in disk that came with the wireless router and follow the instructions.

You may need your IP adress,gate way adress etc from your ISP.

Or just choose static IP adress then click next choose a name for your network and then encrypt/password it so only your house hold can connect to this router.
Run networksetup wizard on each machine.

Janey is your main computer eithernet connection to modem and router you have now?
If it is then some thing like this should do you:D-Link United Kingdom
