I'm a cable broadband VM customer, a friend gave me his old netgear VM router DB834GT - ADSL - but i don't have a landline, just cable tv & broadband
I don't have the installation cd for the router, however was told its easy to set up. I've read loads of posts on here prior to listing this.
I have connected the router to my laptop via ethernet and typed http://192.168.0.1, entered admin & password and got to the setup screen,
Basic settings, regarding ISP selected to get dynamically, gone to "wireless settings", renamed the SSID, created a passkey and attempted to connect.
Wifi is turned on on my laptop. I can find the network on my laptop, connect to it, but on the connectivity status it shows LOCAL only connection. I have reset the router to factory settings, switched modem & router off, disconnected - then switched modem on first, waited & then switched router on, still no good.
What i am doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is killing me !
Thanks in advance
