| 659622 | 2008-04-16 23:31:00 | Hey PF1, I'm having a problem setting up my internet to run through my router. I have a cheap NetGear Modem. The modem works, and I can get internet when this modem is plugged straight into my computer. However when I plug in the seperate Belkin router the router refuses to accept connections from the internet. After I while of playing around I believe I've found my problem. Xnet is PPPoA, my modem is set to PPPoA (and works)...but the Belkin router, which is a couple of years old, doesn't have a PPPoA option, only a PPPoE option. The Belkin is a wireless (and wired) 801.11b/g router. Networking works through the router, just not internet. I found a firmware update for the router, which I tried to update. I got the error that I needed to disconnect it from the internet to do this, so I unplugged everything from it except the power and the connection to the computer, and it still gave me an error saying that I need to get rid of the internet connection. Does anyone know how I can make it think there is no internet connection, and with this firmware update, will I get a PPPoA option, or do I need a totally knew router. |

| 659624 | 2008-04-16 23:51:00 | I'll get them for you when I get home. From memory I couldn't find one for the belkin, it just says "Belkin wireless 801.11b/g router" |

| 659625 | 2008-04-17 01:21:00 | Yep, sometimes the Belkin model numbers aren't very obvious. It will be something like F5D7230. Normally in a smallish square on the top left hand side. (Of their older routers) Disable DHCP on the Belkin. |

| 659626 | 2008-04-17 01:27:00 | So you're basically using your old Belkin router as a switch? I would think you'd only set up the PPPoA on the new netgear modem and disable the adsl on the Belkin. Otherwise it'll be trying to route everything to the disconnected dsl port, no? cheers, gaz |
