[QUOTE="Daddy Elmis, post: 238518, member: 16533"] the first thing I would do (and have done on each wireless network I've installed) is to make sure the computer to modem connection works (accessing internet) before hooking up the router. If that works, then you know the modem is okay. If after putting the router in the mix you don't have internet, then it's a router setting. You didn't mention what router you're using, or what type of broadband. If it's DSL and you're using PPPoE, you've got to set up the router for that and make sure the option to maintain the connection is set. Even at that, PPPoE can drop depending on the modem and router being used. [/QUOTE]
