Hi. I have just bought my mother in law a new wireless laptop. I have tested the wireless connection at home. This is NTL cable from wall >> ntl blue cable modem >> belkin wireless router>> It worked fine.
My in laws currently have a desk top - that has broadband via an NTL STB.
I put the USB connection that went into the back of their pc into the laptop and it worked fine. However, I had problems getting the wireless to work.
I took my belkin router and plugged it in via the ethernet cable to the back of the STB. The laptop did establish a wireless connection - but the belkin router internet light just flashed and did not go constant - and I couldn't get on the net. So near, and yet so far! Has anyone got any ideas?? I keep reading about registering the router with ntl - but am not sure what this means and if this will help!
Cheers, novice - Vicky
