Wirless Broadband Network

Hi

It is hard to understand how to whole thing is connected? Two Modem?

A typical Home Network Sharing the Internet should look like this:

Hopefully you have one computer that is connected to the base station with a wire.

Seeing signal in the Wireless configuration application, or reading somewhere in the
system that you are connected does not mean that you actually have a functional Wireless
Network.

A simple way to ascertain that you have a connection is to try to use the Internet
Browser in a Wireless Client to find out if you can connect to the Router's (Access
Point) web menus (see your hardware manual for the Router's IP Address log in and
password).

Hi
The confusion stems from you referring to your Wireless Client card (mn-510) as a Modem.
Your system consist of; Broad Band Modem, Wireless Cable/DSl Router and Wireless Client
(mn-510).
The links in my above post should help you to solve the problem.
