I've been using the Microsoft wireless broadband for a
few years now. Recently, I purchased Vongage. They sent
me a Linksys Broadband router, model #RT31P2. This
router does not have wireless capability. I tried the
following scenario to incorporate the Linksys into my
home network.
1. Powered down all appliances (PC, cable modem, etc).
2. Connected the Linksys router to the cable modem and
then to my desktop computer.
3. Configured the router.
4. Connected the Microsoft broadband to the Linksys.
I have full network access, including the Internet, on my
desktop machine. My laptops can see the network, they see
the desktop machine, but they won't connect to the
Internet.
Should the wireless router be plugged into the cable
modem first and then the Linksys plugged into that?
If I can't get this working, I'll have to cancel Vonage.
I need my wireless network.
Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
Karen
