    How to configure a 2701HG-D 2WIRE wireless router?

    I have a 2701HG-D 2wire wireless router from QWEST but have moved to an area that does not get QWEST services. I am now trying to configure the router and have been unsuccessful.

    My operating system is Vista. When configured, I can see the wireless router and it says that I am connected to it but I can't get to the internet and the DSL light on the wireless is flashing.

    When I right click on the connection icon on the bottom right and select "network and sharing center" it shows that my computer is connected to my wireless but then shows a red X from the wireless to the internet.

    What am I doing wrong?

    You need to configure the router for the new ISP, the old ISP settings won't work for the new internet. Ask the ISP to help you out. or Post which internet you want to configure on the router.

    First of all try to make sure by going in to the internet connections whether there is a wireless card is in your computer. If you don't have it in your computer, then you need to reinstall the drivers for it and then need to reboot your system. After rebooting your system, your wireless card would be able to see it. Then all you need is to just enter the encryption key and try to hooked up your wireless to the router. Only the Wireless LED will only lite up, if your have a wireless computer/card on that particular network.
