Hi,
I currently receive broudband through virgin.net which supplied me with a speedtouch modem to connect to my computor.
I have just bought a linksys wireless WRT54G router. I have a problem. The wireless router has to be set up using an ethernet connection. I think this is supposed to come out of my phone socket, into the linksys router then into my laptop. The problem is, to set up the wireless router i am being instructed to go to a webpage for setup, but i cannot get onto the web if i do not have the speedtouch modem connected. I cannot connect the speedtouch modem to the linksys device as it does not have an ethernet connection.
The guys at virgin told me to just have the ethernet connection coming out of the phone, into the wireless then into the laptop but when this is done there is no internet connection to be able to set up the router.
Can anyone help me.
Many thanks,
