I had installed a WG311v3 into my computer. It was getting internet signals okay (for living way out in the country). Advertising says it works best with WGT624, but upon installing it, it said it could not establish an internet connection to complete the setup. Since then, the adapter (WG311v3) cant even find a signal. The WGT624 Router remains uninstalled and awaits use, but I can't set it up without a high speed connection to the internet. (Running Windows 7)
Please note that the adapter WG311v3 will only find a wireless network once the router WGT624 is installed and configured. please perform the below steps to reconfigure the wireless router:
1. Connect a Ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN port of the router(isolated port).
2. Connect the computer to the router using any one of the 4 available ports. Please make sure that THERE IS NO DIRECT CONNECTION BETWEEN THE MODEM AND THE COMPUTERS (either using Ethernet cable or USB cable).
3. Power off the modem and the router after making the connections.
4. Power on the modem and wait for the lights, then power on the router.
RECONFIGURE:
1. Open the browser(Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox).
2. Access the router, usually with http://192.168.1.1 or http://www.routerlogin.com.
3. Login to the router with the Username as "admin" and Password as "password" (please note that the username and password is case sensitive).
4. Click on 'Basic settings' from the left menu and select 'Use Computers MAC Address' from 'router MAC Address' section.
5. Click Apply.
6. Once it updates the settings then power off the modem and the router. Power on the modem and wait for the lights, then power on the router.
Once online on the main computer connected through the router. Perform the following tasks to configure the wireless connection:
On the router settings page
1. Click on wireless settings from the left menu.
2. Select security options as 'WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)'.
3. Set the 'Authentication Type' as 'Automatic'.
4. Set the 'Encryption Strength' as 64-bit.
5. In Key 1 type a 10 digit number.
6. Apply the settings.
Install the adapter WG311v3 on your computer and connect to wireless network.

.chk files are normally those produced by the system after a hard drive repair or some such, and shows lost clusters on your drive.
Your Broadband modem feeds the router (your problem device), which in turn connects to the computer's Network Card, the one with the RJ45 connector. The smaller connector goes to your modem, for use with Dial-up signals, not broadband. Cable modem feeds router, router routs signals to various computers, via RJ45 cables. Your router is probably for 802.11g signals, used by the majority of networked computers. The 311 in your computer plugs in to the 624 router. They work together to get you on the Internet.

(I'm willing to pay for answers if I can get this installed and running properly)
The WG311v3 startup I had downloaded and run and it worked fine on Windows 7. I downloaded another .chk file that my comuter can't figure out....
FYI: WGT624v4 (not the one displayed).
Built in modem in my computer (I assume that's the Ethernet plug in). But I'm thinking I shouldn't even need it if I want the Router to pick up signals and send them to the adapter.
Do you have the newest Windows 7 drivers for these items?
