Hi Edward -
Yes, you are right, I do want my laptop on the wireless network, but I have
a PC too, would that stay hard wired via the ethernet cable to the router?
Can I just check for understanding regarding what actual sockets/ports come
on the router please?
I'm guessing there must be a USB connection from the phone line, plus an
ethernet socket out to the computer, is there anything else?
Thanks again -
Andy

| Hi Andy,
|
| The switch I mentioned is on the front of your laptop to the left of the
| headphone and microphone sockets, assuming you're meaning to set up the
| network with your new Pavilion.
|
| I can't remember whether you need to attach the router to the phoneline
| beforehand, can't see that it would hurt though. One thing I should have
| mentioned is that the router is likely to come with a power supply which
you
| will obviously need to connect.
|
| Yes, your modem and router is an all-in-one.

|
| This is great, can I ask some more?
|
| So, I use an ethernet cable to connect the pc to a router,, and the router
| has a wireless slider switch which pushes to the right after the ethernet
| cable is disconnected right? I'm wondering where is the modem? Are these
| netgear things both routers and modems in one these days? If not, and I
need
|
| a separate modem, then how does it connect to the router, and does it also
| have to be plugged in to the phone socket when setting up the wireless
| connection in the first place.
|
| I really apreciated your clear explanation in your first email, it's the
| kind of detail description that really helps me -
|

|| Hi Andy,
||
|| You'll need to buy a wireless router. I have a Netgear which works well.
|| However, be sure it is wireless (the shop sold me the wrong router at
| first,
|| even though I bought it with the laptop and explained exactly what I
|| wanted)!
||
|| You will receive a cd with the necessary software to install.
||
|| In order to set up the network, you have to use the Ethernet cable to
|| connect the router to the computer. You will also need to log into a
|| webpage to set up your router, don't worry, you won't need to be on the
|| internet.
||
|| I think the installation wizard will take you directly to that page once
|| you've gone through the installation process, but if not the address will
| be
|| something like www.routerlogin.net
||
|| The username is normally something like admin, the password might be
| either
|| admin or password.
||
|| The actual setup should be fairly straightforward, I would recommend
|| enabling security when asked, which means you will be required to choose
a
|| pass phrase.
||
|| When you've set up the router, unplug the Ethernet cable from your PC.
If
|| your wireless switch is pushed to the right, the computer should detect
| the
|| new network. You'll be required to enter the pass phrase you just chose
| and
|| you should be away.
||
|| Hope this helps,
||
|| Edward
