I am currently using Comcast broadband thru a rca modem DCM425. Son bought an Acer Aspire laptop today and a netgear wireless-g router. I followed directions hooking up router and when check is done it says it cannot find router. Modem was hooked to PC by usb, but no usb port on router so I have ethernet cable hooked to router and back of PC and also USB hooked to modem and back of pc withthe "yellow" ether net cord plugged into the router and then into the modem...still no luck. Is this something I need to contact Comcast for and obtain their wireless router or did I connect wrong?
First try connection the Yellow ethernet cable from the rca modem to your computer's network connection. If you get a connection this way, then your modem will work with a ethernet cable. If not, then call Comcast for help. The modem ethernet out to computer port must be connected to the wan line of the router. Then you can connect an ethernet cable from your computer network connection to one of the 4 ports of the router. For wireless connections you must set up the router and wireless adaptor with the same settings to connect. Follow the routers directions.
Good Luck
