I have bought a netgear WGR614-6 wireless router for my pc ,on Virgin broadband , but I got no set-up disc. Can I download anything to make it work. I am computer-thick so please tell me in VERY simple terms ! Thanks , Mark

You may need to enter the SSID in the wireless configuration in the Sony.
Check the Netgear wireless setting ie. the SSID, WPA or WPA2 encryption key, then apply these settings to the Sony wireless card settings.

You can easily determine your wireless network name and password by logging in to your netgear router.
Open 192.168.1.1 on a browser and enter the login.
Default UN : admin
Default PW: password

once in, check the wireless settings. you will see there your network name (SSID) and the wireless key. If the wireless key is not showing, you can create a new one..

Hope that helps you.

Sounds to me like the problem is related to the PC hardware. Please check the following in your PC:

- Network card is properly working
- Network cable connecting to the PC is properly working

have u went threw the settings on ur xbox 360 for online? make sure all cables connected properly xbox can be tricky for that

Go into network connections on the laptop and select the Wireless Network. Go into properties and find the TCP/IP settings and ensure that the IP address setting is set to Automatic and the DNS settings also. If you have wireless security set on the router you will have to set that up on the laptop as well.

If you can connect directly to your virgin Media Broadband and get internet then your laptop and broadband router is fine.

The wireless router appears not to have a DNS entry and you will need to add that manually.

I suggest that you connect directly to the Broadband modem, be sure you can get onto the internet. Once you have confirmed you can get onto the internet you need to get the dns information from your Broadband modem for later.

once connected directly to the broadband modem, click start>run> then type "CMD" then click open. you will get a prompt type the following and record the DNS Server ip addresses.

"ipconfig /all" then hit enter
this will display your ipaddress information but mostly you need the DNS server ip addresses.

once you have recorded them rerun the install, but this time instead of at the end of the install where it shows the Wireless router information you can modify or change it and add the DNS server entries.

Also by default most wireless routers ip address is 192.168.1.1 and you can type that from a internet explorer and change it from there as well. I believe it's no ID or user name and the password is admin.

Good luck

try by upgrading the latest firmware version from netgear website

on your computer try to reinstall the device driver for wireless. try to connect the ethernet cable directly to the computer. if you have internet access, then most likely your netgear router needs to be reconfigured. you need to contact your internet service provider or router manufacturer for the reconfiguration of your router. mostly likely the security settings of the router needs to be changed.

Hi fozzy211 - Please don't rate this 'til were finished. You've got two things going on. You said it's telling you to check the cables and then you say it's saying the router isn't from Verizon. Is it both? Are the cables hooked up correctly to your knowledge? We can fool Verizon's system. Let me know if you actually have two problems. For now I would only hook up one pc via wired until it's working. I'll await your response. Thanks.

first u need to connect a pc through wired on the w/l router and go to w/l part and configuge it
