Hi,
I just got a new internet connection and trying to use my Netgear DG834PN router with it, but I'm having problems with my new internet connection.
The new connection has a network wall plug from where I directly connect my laptop using a network cable. Then I dial up a PPPOE connection from the laptop and get access to the net.
However, I would like to use my Netgear router to be able to have wireless internet in my apartment. I've unplugged the network cable from my laptop and connected it to the first network slot of the router, and went to the router setting to put the username and password of the PPPOE connection. Unfortunately, it doesn't connect. The router status keeps staying on "Connecting".
How is it possible to make it work, or get around this issue?
