Hi guys, any help would be much apppciated. i am trying to set up a wireless router for my mate as he just sign up broadband with Tiscali. The router is a Dlink G604T wireless ADSL Modem. Follow instrcution it ask us to enter address on the IE (192.168.1.1) However when we do this nothing seem to be happen like the manual mention. When we connect the LAN cable to the comp it bring us to the gateway config page. I have follow all the instruction Tiscali have provided to us but when we do a search for our router we cant find it on Dlink utility. We picked up 2 other routers around the area but we cant see our one. if you knoww what i mean, any idea?

So are you trying to connect to other computers (wireless) or just the main computer via Ethernet (lan)

Computer , ethernet cable to router , adsl cable into the router to the phone socket.

192.168.1.1 into IE . . make sure no WWW etc if this doesnt work try doing a reset on the router, it should say in the manual

just main computer to the internet using wireless router. we are trying to set up the router via its gateway (192.168.1.1) but keep saying page cannot be display on the IE. Do i have to plug the ethernet cable to the wireless router and the computer first before we can log on to the gateway? i thought this is suppose to be a wireless why do we need ethernet cable to get it set up? :confused:

ok got the wireless configured but we still cant find our router on the network list. we picked up two other routers around the area. Do we have to set the router utility to the same channel as the show on the gateway page?

Yes, to configure the router the first time you need to use a cable. Then access the router Admin pages with Internet Explorer. Turn on, setup and configure the wireless while using the cable. Does the manual not expalin all of this ?

it didnt say u have to connect the cable for the first time use :rolleyes:

for the love of god i still cant get the wireless router to connect wirelessly. i followed instruction (in details) from Dlink website and ISP manual (tiscali). i can browse the net using the router with the Ethernet cable hooked up but my wireless PCI cant seem to find the router. I have also run the Utility that allow the router to communicate with the computer but when this utility is running it keep getting "connection timeout" error anyone know how can i solve this problem. I cant see what could cause this problem, i know that the PCI wireless is working also the router. :confused:
