Netgear router connection problems

Ok fellas, here's the skinny. I have the most basic of basic Netgear
wireless routers (WGR614), yet I still can't set this dang thing up!
:confused: I am trying to set up two computers that are literally side
by side.

I go through the set up, it acknowledges the internet connection, then
it asks for the login/password for my connection. I don't have one via
my provider ("Qwest) as I simply ran through their install disk and it's
ready to roll, no sign in, etc. I've read quite a bit about this, so I
thought maybe it wasn't directed at my providers sign in, and instaed
used the general sign in 'admin' and 'password' that work on virtually
all Netgear units. No go. I also tried the login of '1234', which is
used for older routers (which this is not), but that didn't work either.


I am obviously using wires, as there is no need to go wireless. What
am I doing wrong? All my wiring is correct.

Thanks.

Chad

If you contact the good folks at Netgear's website they are more than happy
to get you up and running. At least Linksys got me going in no time about a
year or so ago. I have had no problems since, except when I started using
Vista about two weeks ago but the connection problems I am having are not
router related. I recontacted Linksys and my router is still correctly setup
and working fine.

Give Netgear a call and they will walk you through getting setup.

"I go through the setup" means what -- you run an installer program or you
access the router via its web interface?

"the login/password for my connection" -- You really need to get your login
name and password (they do exist, despite having used the Qwest installer)
since, since without them, there is no way to actually make a connection to
the Internet. You may have to contact Qwest's support people to find out
what your login really is.

As for the login to the router itself, you need to have either the IP
address or the URL (name) of the router. The method for using the web
access on the router will be spelled out in the manual. If the router
hasn't been reprogrammed then the default name and password in the manual
should work. Resetting the modem (method shown in the manual) will reset
them to the defaults. This will get you talking to the router but will
_not_ get you on the internet. Once you are talking to the router via its
web interface you can enter your Qwest user name and password into the
proper slots.

Hi
If I understand your post you probably set the connection to the ISP before
you used a Router and you used some kind of CD setup.
In all likelihood this setup installed some sort of ID and PW on you
computer to authenticate the connection.
Contact your ISP and find how the authentication can be set on the Router.
Cable Internet might do it like this - http://www.ezlan.net/broadband.html
DSL might do like this - http://www.ezlan.net/PPPOE.html
The above is just an example since I do not know how Qwest is handling the
issue.

connect your laptop direct to the router in port 1to 4>open internet
explorer>in the address bar put http://192.168.1.1/ when the login
screen appears put in the username : virgin and the passphrase :
password> the Netgear router page will now appear, down the left side
click on Wireless settings>now name your network, something you remember
and replace the passphrase with a new one at least 8 characters long and
click apply, wait for it to finish updating and close the page.

disconnect cable from laptop and router, ensure inbuilt wireless
switched on, go to system tray and look for connect to a network icon (
not the virgin icon ) click it and find your network name, click connect
put in your passphrase and when it says connected open a browser page
and you should be connected

Where it asks... "does your Internet connection require a login?" - answer
NO!

After that, all should be "automatic".

Note: I am assuming that like 99 percent of the small home networks out
there that your provider supplied DSL modem/router is doing the "loging on"
part.

This link works better. Go here and select your router, then click on the
"Basic" setup screenshot.
