260591 2004-08-11 11:59:00 Has anyone set up a Woosh wireless modem straight into a router?
I was told to get the Woosh Ethernet cable which I did, and plug this into the WAN port of the router, then multiple computers connected to the LAN ports of the router can access the internet.
Well I did all that, and re-loaded the Woosh connection software and selected "Ethernet Connection" [instead of USB] when the option came up.

Problem is, I can't see any way of telling the modem to connect to Woosh. If I do it the normal way by clicking the "connect" button it comes up and tells me it can't find the modem etc etc.

Anyone know how to do it?

I'm using a D-Link D-614+ router.

PPPoE connection.

WRT54G/S is the best for Woosh IMHO.

260593 2004-08-11 12:30:00 Ok, well I got into the web interface on the router and loaded all that info, I don't remember anything about MTU but it may have been there.
After having done this I tried accessing the internet from the PC that was connected to the LAN port, but no go. I had the PC configured to the router's IP (192.168.0.1) but I'm not sure about the other settings.

I still don't understand how the router tells the modem to connect? Does it tell the modem to be connected all the time, or is there some "connect" command I have to use?

What is WRT54G/S ?

kiki, how to get to the 'web interface' on the router (or the Woosh modem)?

There seems to be no link between the PC + Router + Woosh Modem . Does this Woosh modem have the capability to store username and password?
