DANGERMAN Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Hello all. I got myself one of those Buffalo Airstation Turbo G routers that Centy recommended. I read the instructions and it all looked pretty easy, but I've fallen at the first hurdle. It wants me to put the ethernet cable from my modem into the WAN socket, sounds easy, except our modem hasn't got an eternet cable, it's only got a usb cable out. Maybe I'm missing something startingly obvious , but it's put my wifi sorting mission on the shits straight away
Hendo Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Well, if it's like any normal router, that takes care of all your net needs, so you don't need the old modem at all, so I don't think you'd have to plug your modem into it. Though I haven't seen that router so maybe it's set up different to mine?
DANGERMAN Posted September 10, 2006 Author Posted September 10, 2006 The instructions make it look like it needs it. 5. Power on your cable or DSL modem and wait one full minute, then power on the Airstation router I hate computers
Centy Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Right me mate made this up because he was sick of my stupidity for not understandfing a bleeding word he was saying so he drew this up may need to magnify in the browser
DANGERMAN Posted September 10, 2006 Author Posted September 10, 2006 Much appreciated again, I think I get how to sort it now. I told a friend of mine about it and he got angry and shouted at me Anyway I'll try to work it all out later.
Centy Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 yeah being a tech n00b sucks atleast you never got called a retard lol
