Hi George -
I'm already on broadband, so have that filter I think you are talking about,
plugged in to my phone socket. You advised getting a router with at least
one RJ45, does it matter how many devices I want to connect wirelessly? Will
one RJ45 be enough for setting up purposes?
You said that a router will come with a cable to go to the phone filter, so
will I need to buy a separate ethernet cable to go from the PC to the
router? Also, does an ethernet cable have an rj45 plug on each end?
Thanks -
Andy

| 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
