Why wont this router work??

[twisterX]

Netgear RP614v3

I plug everything expecting it to work and it doesnt. Shouldnt it be plug and play. I dont want to use the cd. I tired it but it doesnt work.

It works as a lan and connects to the pther computers but the internet doesnt work. When i plug my pc directly in to the modem then it works.

This is fucking bullshit. I hate routers and i hate all fucking extra security and shit. Im so fucking pissed right now!

can't you configure the router by going to 192.168.0.1 (or somthing similar) in your web browser

[lee551]

i'd run thru these steps and see if anything works:

netgear troubleshooting (http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101209.asp)

[tesco]

go ino the router config and setup your DSL connection. :rolleyes:

[twisterX]

theres no fucking way ill get this thing to work.

I tried everything and the POS still doesnt work. The LAN works but i dont know why i dont have internet access.

go ino the router config and setup your DSL connection. :rolleyes:
Obviously this is the solution but does he understand that?

You need to configure the DSL connection.

Start your web browser and go to: http://192.168.0.1 (might be 0.0 or 1.1 or 1.0)
You should then see a login screen asking for a password. Usually the password is admin.

Once you gain access to the setup screens for the router, you then have to provide it the DSL login information that your ISP requires for you to logon.

Once the router is logged-on then all PCs connected to the router will have access to the internet.

.
He would if he just read the instructions.:frusty:

[twisterX]

i read the instructions pleanty of times. The lynksys i had previousely worked right away but this thing wont.

I did everything the instructions said. Wouldnt there be something wrong if the lan worked and the WAN things didnt.

i go to the setup wizard it says i have a vaild connection and then it doesnt work.

[twisterX]

i just wish i had a dumbass person here so they could use the cd and install it. :P

You say you don't have pppoe or something like that but you don't say what you actually have. You could call your ISP to find out what type of service or even to ask them for help.

[twisterX]

i know i dont have ppope becuase if i did i would have to log in everytime i tireed to use the internet like my cousin who does have it.

That's great that you tell us what you don't have for the second time now.

How about you tell us what you do have?

I have a router and it works great! :schnauz:
[/useless info]

ok, you get too damned worked up about this
put the mouse down and step away from the pc
go smoke a bowl and come back relaxed

feel better? good
now RTFM :P

I'd throw some suggestion out there, but....
I have a Belkin and our configurations may be night & day from each other
that's why they include a setup guide w/ the hardware

ISP: SBC Yahoo DSL
Connection: 1.5 MB DOWN 386 kbps UP
Modem: Efficient Networks SpeedStream 5100
Router: Netgear: RP614v3
OS: WIN XP

Previous router worked flawessly and set up without any problems. I dont have to log in to use the internet. I dont know what more to say.

I did the fucking setup many times and the shit still doesnt work. LAN works great but no internet access on any of the pc's.

Tried another same exact router and still the same problems.

Directly it works great. Anything else you wanna know?

[suprafreak6]

well its so wierd, i actually read the instructions for my router but it was screwed up, so basically i just plugged everything in
then pushed the reset button in the bak once i got fed up
my router settings were at 192.168.123.254
arent all dsl connections ppoe

[Virtualbody1234]

I found this about your modem:
According to Efficient Networks/Siemens (888) 286-9375 this modem has built in pppoe and is called the 'b' version. It is configurable by using a browser pointed to http://192.168.0.1. The 'a' version has 4 LED's and no built in pppoe.
The modem is reported to work under Linux out of the box.
Thanks to R. H. for the feedback information !
Originally, the modem details were found at: http://www.efficient.com/res-modems.html
http://www.chipweb.de/dsl/index.php?menu=2&id2=77

It seems that the modem has built-in pppoe. Not sure what it really means but somehow you have to configure your router to act like a hub or switch.

Q: What is my VPI/VCI, I am configuring my router? (#1484)

A: If you are configuring your router, you want to set the VPI/VCI setting for 0/35. Some of the older DSL accounts before June 2000, may need a VPI/VCI setting of 8/35 depending on your equipment, especially for the Alcatel modems.

Q: Why doesn't my Router work with the 5100B (#9379)

A: Routers with the default IP of 192.168.0.1 (example Netgear) conflict with the 5100B default of 192.168.0.1. The administrative access IP for the router has to be changed, since the 5100B's cannot be changed.

go to lan ip setup in the admin menu 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 and then use that to access the admin menu and see if it can connect.
