Not working - to get on line I have to connect by cord to modum and bypass router. What's up?

To secure your wireless network from unauthorized access,please click on this link and follow my instructions :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r3559128-wireless_router_security

If your modem is not also a router you can only connect one device to it. You should have a router instead of a switch. Otherwise check the settings on your modem to be sure the ports are open that are needed for the Sling Catcher.

Your router is not setup right. Take your cable from your modem and plug into the lan port of the router. That will make it work fine.

You need to change the wireless channel on your router. I believe your router is set to Auto channel. Open the router's setup page by going to http://192.168.2.1 and look for wireless tab. Change the channel to 11 and save the settings. The reboot your router. It should't interfere with your cellphone now.

im pretty sure you will be fine if you bypass that step, or simply disconnect the modem from your router during that step.

You do not have to use the cd.
Go to the control panel and un-install the program that the cd installed.
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.
Thanks, Joe

To access your router you should goto http://192.168.0.1 - It should explain in the manual.

You may have to set the router in Cable Modem mode as it may be in DSL mode now.

I hope this may help.

ALSO! There should be a little hole in the back that you can put the tip of a pen into to press a button and it will reset the router back to factor defaults. Default settings would be cable modem mode. Be sure to have the router powered on and press the button down for 10 secs and notice the lights on the router should flash. After that power down the router, by unplugging the power and the plug it back in. It should be set back to factory defaults.

1. Update the Firmware on your router.
2. When you lose internet, look on your modem and make sure that no lights have gone out. (i.e. Cable) If this one goes out, it is your provider.

u need to have network card to access the other computer,and also sys 1(where modem is connected) which acts as a server should be always on in order other system to get access to net,and in the 2nd sys open Internet Explore go to Tools>internet options>Connections> in LAN settings give the IP address range..That would work fine
