Re: Need help installing a wireless router to a cable modem

The router is NetGear WGR614, and the modem is Motorola SurfBoard
SB5101. That's the problem, I'm not sure if the router is DSL or Cable
(Does it make any difference?), but it certainly works with DSL modem.

FFS, What model is the router? and what model is the Surf Board!?!

(You lot don't make it easy to answer questions do you :-))

Assuming it is a CABLE router, and your SurfBoard modem has an ethernet
socket, then you just connect the modem to the WAN port on the router with
the same cable you used with the PC (Unless the PC is suing a USB
connection!)

Depending on your cable provider, you may have to register the router with
them (NTL where I am do anyway)

If you have bought a DSL router, then you need to take it back, and get a
different one!
