1140020 2010-09-29 08:19:00 Our set up is...Phone into a D-Link DSL-504T ADSL Router.From output of that into a Belkin 54g G Wireless Router with the WiFi outlet & 4 outputs for hard connected PCs. A Toshiba Laptop will connect to the Internet ok. We cannot get the W7 laptop to "TalkTo" an Epson printer.

It has been suggested that out Modem/ Router set up is the cause & we should get a single WiFi unit. PJ

Your setup can be made to work fine. Networkwise it is the same as mine (Telecom adsl modem/router into a wireless router/switch. But you have to make sure that you don't have two routers/dhcp servers active. My wireless 'router' is setup as an Access Point with DHCP coming from the Telecom modem. Admittedly, a combined unit gets over some of the configuration issues.

There is one outfit in Palmerston North who is cheaper than the two most expensive in Wanganui yet are willing to travel here!!! I assume they would spend a day here to make it worthwhile.
