Hi, I have this wireless router but when I try and connected to the internet through this router it does not work.

I basically get my cable connection to go into the WAN in the router, and hook my pc upto the 1st slot (tried all 4 slots) but the internet doesn't work, tried it on two different pc's many different cables and no joy.

What happens is when I try to connect it, it says in Vista the little corner has a exclamantion sign over the conenction.

I tried a master reset with the router, no luck, any help please what could be the problem? Can't connect to 192.168.0.1 either..... So I cannot change any settings via that.

Is your machine even getting a valid IP from the router?

Had a similar problem myself a few days back. Check what IP that connection has - if is 0.0.0.0 or 169.254.x.x it usually means there's a problem with your DHCP server.

Also try connecting using lower channel ranges - for instance for me I was using a Netgear USB 2 N wirelsss adapter, setting the channel range to 20MHz instead of 20-40MHz resulted in a much more stable connection.

How do I check the I.P and whats the DHCP server mean like? How do I change the HMz aswell?
