Setting up wireless ADSL

I have a TP link W8910G wireless router. Heres the info

'The TP-Link 54M Wireless ADSL2+ Router TD-W8910G is a 3-in-1 device that combines the function of a high-speed DSL modem, wireless G access point, and 4-port Ethernet router. It supports the latest ADSL2/2+ standards to provide higher performance (up to 24Mbps downstream and 3.5Mbps upstream) and longer reach from your Internet Service Provider´ (ISP) Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM).
With the TD-W8910G, you can create a wireless network to connect 802.11g/802.11b'

I connect the line port to an ADSL splitter that goes to phone line, power it on and connect one of the RJ45 cables to my pc. I put in 192.168.1.1 in and access the router setup.
When it gets to the PPP username, password and service name do i just need to get the username and password correct? I have tried a few times entering the username and password and then restarting the browser (after waiting a few minutes) and it still doesnt find a connection.

Does the PPPoE Service Name need to be entered correctly? if so i have no idea what it is, so far ive just tried 'orange' and 'orange broadband'

Not sure if orange need a specific username and password or if its like BT where anything will do.

ADSL is usually delivered over PPPoA in the UK although I think theres a PPPoE fallback now.

I just tested my connection and most of those pass/fails are normal:

Testing Ethernet connection PASS
Testing ADSL line for sync PASS
Testing Ethernet connection to ATM PASS
ATM Connection Test
Testing ATM OAM segment ping FAIL
Testing_ATM OAM end to end ping FAIL
ISP Connection Test
Testing PPP server connectivity PASS
Testing PPP server session PASS
Testing authentication with server PASS
Validating assigned IP address86.177.102.166 PASS
Internet Connection Test
Ping default gateway217.32.147.97 PASS
Ping Primary Domain Name Server FAIL

I think where yours passes on this - Testing PPP server connectivity PASS - and mine fails is where its going wrong. Surely you must have to add a username and password to the router :confused:

Done

my wireless router may not pick up a signal but my wired does. Simple idea I had - just plug the wireless router into a port on the wired router. This means the adsl link is going through the wired router then into the wireless and out to wireless!

anyway, back on topic

Are you sure you have the right settings, especially the username and password?

Not necessarily.

its setup now. through the wired router. It says its an unsecured netword, is it possible to setep a username and password even though its connected through the other router?

There is a username and password on the wired router, that connects via RJ45 to the wireless router
