Quick question. Have been on broadband at home for
ages. All worked fine. When I moved house I
thought would be ideal time to try going wireless.
Setup is
XP SP2, 3.2GHZ, 512RAM, 50GB HD.
Is brand new laptop so know that isn't the
issue. Had broadband installed today and works fine
via LAN cable into the laptop. A friend gave me
his old router and want to know if it is
possible to use it instead of getting a new one.
Is SMC7004AWBR. Pretty old school (eg no XP
instructions in the manual which i downloaded. Eg
doesnt have a USB port so cant just use the
XP wizard)
Problem is I can seemingly set up a network
which is recognised by my laptop and signal
strength is full. Though when I try to plug the
LAN from the cable modem into the router, I
can't get online. Can anyone tell me a)if they
think it is possible to hook it up and b) if
so give me a walkthrough of which settings to
change.
