DANGERMAN Posted September 10, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted September 10, 2006 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
