Connecting a Wireless Router to My High Speed? So here's the deal: I've got Comcast high speed internet hooked into my desktop PC with a router.

Problems setting up Netgear wireless router with Comcast High Speed Internet? I recently switched from SBC DSL to Comcast High Speed Internet but I am having problems getting the wireless router to work. When I connect the cable modem directly to the computer(modem to computer, cable to modem), everything works perfectly fine. However, when I connect with the router (modem to computer, modem to router, cable to router), the connection is completely lost and won't even work on the main workstation. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I am using a Netgear WGR614 v5 wireless router. Modem is a Motorola SB4200 SURFboard cable modem. I called Comcast but they couldn't help out one bit. Also, I am having trouble accessing the router manager because 192.168.1.1 is the address but it does not work either. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!! The modem is connected to the cable jack at all times.

I have verizon high-speed internet but my wireless router isn't compatible. What router can I use to work? The modem that came with the Verizon High-Speed internet is a Westell 6100F model, and I have a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router. I can use the internet when I have it hooked straight from the modem to the computer, but when I have it hooked into the wireless router it will not work. Is this because the wireless router is not compatible or is there something else going wrong somewhere? I previously had Suddenlink and it worked perfect with my wireless router. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I can't play my PS3 online until I have wireless internet.
BT Broaband talk-softphone-Belkin F5D7633-4 ADSL Modem with High-Speed Mode Wireless G Router Configuration? Got one for all you whizz-kids. I've got BT Total Broadband and want to activate and configure BT Broadband Talk and then use it with BT's freely downloadable Broadband Softphone. However I dont have a BT HomeHub, nor do I want One! How do I get the various bits (software and hardware) to work together with my router/modem of choice a Belkin F5D7633-4? I think the root of the problem is that the BT provided config assumes a HomeHub (http://api.home...) Does any one know of an alternate config file better suited to my needs? Many thanks!
Would switching to a wireless router with higher bandwidth increase my speed?

Thanks

Can you increase your DSL speed with a wireless router using your laptop? I currently have AT&T DSL service. I have a laptop with wireless access now. My current AT&T speed is 1.5mbps. If I get one of these wireless routers that say they have speeds up to 60mbps, will I get that higher speed or will I only be able to get 1.5mbps because that is what I am paying for through AT&T.

If I have high speed internet do I just need to buy a wireless router to share it with my Laptop? I recently bought an HP Laptop and was hoping to get it hooked up to my Comcast internet but I found out you need a separate account if you wanna do that and I'm not about to pay that much for internet. So I was wondering if I could just buy a linksys wireless router and be done with it, or is there anything else that I need? My Laptop can connect to wireless however my desktop with the comcast connection cannot. Is this a problem as well? Thanks, hope to get an answer soon.

Can't connect to westell high speed modem through belkin wireless G router.? Heres the deal, a friend of mine is having some trouble. She has a Westell modem and when direct ethernet cabling that to her vista PC it allows her to connect to the internet, however she recently purchased a Xbox 360 console and has a Belkin Wireless G Router with 4 port switch with no CD, she has tried swapping cables so the ethernet cables are not the problem, her PC is unable to connect through the ethernet cable on the router. The overall goal is to have the Westell modem plugged into the router and the router with 2 more ethernet cables plugged into the pc and 360 and grant both simotanious internet access, allowing her to go back and forth between her PC and her gaming console. Again she does not have the Cd and i am unable to find her drivers so i need some way to do this, we have yet to test just Modem > Router > Xbox 360 so im not entirely sure but the router lights up normally from what ive heard so i was hoping someone would know how to fix this.

It is not the same PC, it is a replacement to the XP PC Sorry for the partial Information re-post, for some reason it came up, anyway, it is not the same PC and i understand a fair amount about networking, traditional methods have not worked and Belkin's site doesnt mention wether it is compatible with vista or not based upon the model number which we are pretty sure is F5D6231-4.

Wireless Router speed question? I have a brand new, higher-end wireless router. (Netgear RangeMax Wireless-N Gigabit Router - RNW3500). 1) Is it true that if I plug a single device in to that router that works at 100megabit rather than gigabit speeds, the entire router speed drops down to 100mb? I have an older Lexmark printer with Ethernet that's plugged in, and the light shows me it's operating at 100mbit. Has that degraded filetransfers between my two gigabit PCs? 2) If I use a Wireless G Game Adapter for a device to connect via wifi to this router, will that also degrade the overall speed of the router due to the lower-speed wifi-connected device? Thanks for your help! (oops, got my model number of my router wrong - it's a WNR3500)
I purchased a wireless netgear router. I also have Roadrunner High speed internet modem....? The roadrunner modem connects my computer to the internet just fine when connected directly to my computer-and xbox live directly when connected to that. However, when we connect the modem to the wireless router, we cannot connect to the internet nor xbox live. We have purchased 2 routers now and roadrunner tells me it is a netgear problem, and netgear tells me it is a roadrunner modem problem. Any insight??

Slow speed with wireless router, but computer is run through ethernet port wored from router? Let me see if I have this set up correctly. I have Comcast high speed internet. The cable goes from the modem to the wireless router, then I have a ethernet cable coming from the router to my computer. My problem is slow download speeds and web pages taking forever. I have an xbox 360 and a Wii set up wireless, but they seem to be ok. The computer is still slow when both gaming systems are off.
If my high speed internet only gives me 10MB/sec, will a router with 300mb/sec wireless even matter? My internet plan listed speeds of 10mb/sec download speeds, which is apparently pretty fast. What I don't get is how will a gigabit wireless N router make any difference over a regular wireless G router if the top speed of my internet is 10mb/sec? I have a wireless N capable laptop so I thought I'd upgrade my router but looking at the capabilities I wondered how with today's internet speeds it could possibly make a difference. I don't really do any work 'within' the network, like I don't connect to other computers within the house. We mostly just use the internet and upload our pictures off our cameras.
