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?
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 [email protected]
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 :(
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.
