not sure if anyone can help me on this on as its not in the slighest bit car related but i have just installed a wireless linksys router and have today recieved a Wireless adaptor so i can run my internet wirelessly.

my problem is that the netgear wireless suport is telling me that i am connected to the router, but for some reason the router is not wirelessly connected to the internet??? is this some sort of securtity setting i have not set up?

it works when plugged in wired but not when done via wireless?

any help would be brilliant

cheers

so you can browse using the router/modem when its connected by a wire but not wirelessly?

When you search for networks does it find the router?

Only on some routers only if its not set up yet.

You normally have to connect by wire to enable it.

After that you can get it from anywhere though.
If he could connect to the router via wireless he would be able to view the settings page.
