Hi Andy,
Routers do vary, but if you get a wireless, broadband
router, make sure it does have at least one RJ45 port.
The router should come with a cable to connect to something
called a "Filter". The filter is an adaptor which allows
you to connect both telephone and Router to the telephone
line. It separates the voice and data. You will need one
of these filters an any telephone point with a phone
connected to it, otherwise telephone voice reception will be
decided nasty.
Your desk top can then be wired to the from PC to Router.
Once you have the router set up and the system connecting to
the Internet, you can then tackle the wireless side of
things.
George.

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
