678166 2008-06-13 10:51:00 I recently purchased a Cnet G wireless router which I hooked on to my router "dynalink RTA120" I couldnt get my internet to work afterwards. Im so lost here i couldnt even get my ipod touch to surf the web.
I have no idea about wireless routers so it would be great if u guys can help.
by the way my broadband is 256kbpsdown and 128up.
thank you in advance.!!

There is not a lot of difference in price and and you don't have the complication of trying to get several components to work together.

678168 2008-06-15 04:45:00 If I make these assumptions here:

1. You can connect with just the Dynalink by having automatic IP settings on your PC.
2. You can connect to the CNet router on its own & access its web configuration page (should be instructions in the supplied manual for this) by having automatic IP settings on your PC.

If the above are true, then you should be able to get the 2 working together by setting the CNet's WAN connection for DHCP/Automatic and make sure its LAN address is on a different subnet to the Dynalink (e.g use 192.168.2.1 if the Dynalink is on 192.168.1.1). You should then get connectivity by plugging the WAN port on the CNet to the LAN port on the Dynalink.

Once you've got that working, then fire up the wireless AP part of the router & try to get the iPod talking to the net without wireless security at first, then set up the encryption once that's up and running.
