Does CNet Wireless-G Router CWR-854 operate with WIndows Vista or 7? Does this require a download of firmware or is the router outdated as I think the firmware is about 4 years old?

you should contact your internet provider for professional advice. it's most likely free and faster than asking nerds on the internet who doesn't know anything about your specific router-model ;)

cheers

Hello,
You can use this wireless router to connect different wireless devices together. Each device with a wireless network card (computer, phone, gaming system, printer, etc.) can connect to the router without a cable. This will form a network where information can be shared.
The main purpose people use this for is to connect their network to the internet. As long as the router is connected to your internet, every other wireless device can also connect.
Thanks,
Pat

online user manual is here http://www.cnet.com.tw/download/cwr-854.htm If you goto page 37 it show the dhcp range . Make sure your pc cofiguration is set to dhcp - automatically obtain and IP and DNS - this is explained on page 10/11 try this Start>run{vista/7 search box}>cmd>ipconfig /release Start>run{vista/7 search box}>cmd>ipconfig /renew see if that produces the correct info

You can't really use a router to connect to another router, you can sometimes use them as an "Extender" for range, but not as a WiFi card, they simply aren't made to operate that way.

Here is a better manual.http://www.cnetusa.com/eng/Manuals/Wireless/CWR-854/CWR-854%20ver%20F%20Quick%20Install%20Guide.pdf

The internet connection has a security that's why you can't access the internet. The only thing you have to do is to know the wpa password of the router.

This router has a default username and password to configure all the settings. This is the manual for Cnet CWR-854 Router:

It seems that the router is already configured by an authorized person, the best thing you should do is contact the authorized person that knows everything about the router.

Your router model is CWR-854, I suppose.
