2wire Wireless router not working w/Comcast cable modem




By PFSLeader on Feb 03, 2008

" "
I can get connected to the internet just fine with the ethernet connection to my laptop, but when I connect the ethernet cable to the back of the 2wire the middle light turns red because of no broadband link. My computer finds the wireless network just find, but there no internet conection. I am doing something wrong?

Clarification Request

i have cable internet. It works ok with the ethernet cable to the laptop but i want it to work with the wireless router!
The router is a 2wire..... when i connect it up, the green lights flash and then the dsl light flashes green, then red a few times alternately.
What is the prob and how do i sort it out?
thanx

You may need a crossover cable between the router and your laptop.

- For donc81 - do you have cable internet or DSL? You should only need one or the other. You should have a DSL modem OR a cable modem, but not both.

If it is DSL, which is carried over your existing phone line, you should connect the DSL modem to the phone line with a regular phone cord. After connecting the DSL modem to your phone line, connect your computer to the DSL modem via the Ethernet cable - bypassing the wireless router just to test the Internet connection. Are you able to connect to the Internet? If so, then the problem lies with the configuration of the wireless router, if not, then there's a problem with your DSL connection.

Forget about chaining the att modem to the cable modem. If you want wireless than just go on Craigs List and purchase one router for like 30 bucks and call it a day. Lets put it this way...I JUST got comcast after ATT wireless. I have two pc's in my home but my modem from comcast only has one port for an ethernett cable. It's sadly obvious that I have to throw a router in the loop just to get my other rig online :(

Its almost impossible to connect a 2wire DSL router with a Cable modem. They dont go hand in hand.
Although you can connect the outgoing ethernet wire from the modem in the last ethernet plug on the back of the router and then have the ethernet connections coming from the router. But not wireless. and if you find a way, contact me at jneal2k9@hotmail.com

How can the 2wire wireless router be configured to work with the cable modem? I have the exact same problem as the others. The internet directly to the computer works fine but when the ethernet cable is plugged into the 2wire it says it can't find the broadband connection.

I am having the same problem. In response to the answer posted below, I have a cable connection and am attempting to connect my existing cable modem (which does not have a wireless router) to a 2wire DSL router. Although my laptop finds the connection, I cannot connect to the Internet and keep receiving a "DSL Failed to Connect" error.
