Hi everyone, hope this is the right place to post this.
Well, I'm not a complete newbie to the whole wireless thing however I am
having some trouble setting up a D-Link 635 router on my girlfriends home
computer set-up. The problem is that the router was bought as a Christmas
present by her brother, and what he didn't know is that a router with it's
own internal modem would've been much better (at least that's what I
think). Anyway, having only ever set up a Dynamode router (with an internal
modem) before, I read the instructions for the D-Link and got the
impression that the current modem needed to be plugged into the new router.
However this is where the real problem lies as the current modem
(Speedtouch, the standard tiscali one) only has two cables, a phone line
and a USB cable, whereas the instructions are telling me it needs a
crossover type cable. I did however notice that the D-Link had a USB port
on the back however I still couldn't get anything to work after plugging
the modem into that port. Because of this I presumed that the router was no
good but it seems that the receipts gone missing so I'm asking
on here to see if there's any possibility of getting it to work.
If anyone knows of a way I can get the network up and running with the
current equipment than that would be great. If there's no possible way of
getting it to work as it is than suggestions on other possibilities i.e
extra equipment, would also be great.
so I'm asking
on here to see if there's any possibility of getting it to work.
