Hi Thumbsucker,

Oftentimes with Netgear routers, before an Internet connection can be established, you'll need to run the Wizard setup routine on the router itself. Many other manufacturers don't require this, but if you're connecting to a PPPoE connection (such as DSL) then the Netgear requires said basic setup.

On the bottom of the router itself you'll see some information. It'll tell you the default IP address (such as 192.168.0.1) and a basic username and password (the default for most Netgear routers is admin for the username and password for the password). Plug your computer into one of the four switch ports on the router (not the uplink/Internet port) and type in the IP address of the router (again, such as 192.168.0.1) into your Web Browser (such as Internet Explorer). If it asks for a username/password then punch in the info given on the bottom of the router. At that point you should be able to answer the basic questions to get you online.

There is a chance that your modem and your router have the same IP address; in that case, you'll need to manually change the IP address on the router.

If by chance you can't get into the router via the information provided on the bottom of the device, take a paper clip and, with the router powered up, hold in the reset button for 30 full seconds. This will reset the device to its default factory settings.

SOURCE: Hi - When I connect

reset your router back to the default factory settings. This is done by simply holding down the reset button located on the back of the unit for at least 30 seconds.

Reseat the cables between your modem, router and computer. Then:

Shutdown your PC. Unplug the power from the router and the cable modem.
Wait 30 sec. then plug in the power to the cable modem, wait 30 sec. then plug the power to the router. Wait till you have "Internet" light then restart your PC. The PC should pick up an IP address and you should be able to get on-line. This is if you have a cable service provider. If you have DSL, the router needs to be configured with PPOe.

If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it and give a testimonial for my response. Thanks, Joe

So you see your wi-fi connection is open??? Have you fixed this problem yet??? fairly simple... it shouldn't be as difficult as the page you were referred to above:)

SOURCE: How to connect two wifi routers using modem....In home on one network???

while two WiFi connections can work, if youdo it that way you will need to disconnect from one and reconnect to other everytime you move from one extreme to the other. also you only extend your range by the distance from one to the other.

what you need (for a weak signal) is a repeater. it is a box designed to listen on one WiFi channel and repeat it on another. bin turn it also listens on the repeated channel for communication from your remote device and repeats it onto the original channel so it is as if the new channel is the original channel... place this repeater at half strength distance (power source will be needed but wires to base computer not needed) and you have extended your range by about half the distance...

to go further out just add another repeater (or more)
I googled "WiFi repeater" and was presented with a wide range of options (see photo for partial screenie)... generally the more expensive the further or wider the range... without even looking further i would suspect that the more expensive ones likely could even cover more range than two of that modem you showed combined

a few shown might be the kind with two units that you plug one near base computer and plug other farthest away from base... they not only use house wiring to power the units but also use the electric wire as an antenna for comunicating as if there were an ethernet connection between them.
