[SEÑOR]

[Spartan Erik]

what kind of router is it?
also, what are you planning to do with the router?

i.e. internet? networking?

Yea what he said ^^^ but also... Wireless??

I spent ages trying to get my wireless router working, whatever happend to "Plug n Play" :runaway:

bascially you are going to plug the router into the wall (power)

then hook the internet to the router and hard wire into it. Frrom there you will be about to go to 192.168.1.1 and try admin | admin (check your book for the exact username and pass). Then when you get inside look around and there should be some information on your wireless settings. Set some settings and then try connecting with a laptop or wireless desktop

If you have XP it should be "plug in and play" which mine was.. And then if you want to set up some security on it, it's not hard you can download the guid off the internet for any router.. But yea mine is a wireless and I just pluged it in and it worked!

you cant do plug and play all the time some times you might neeeed to open ports for some programs with a router...

I've never had to open a port unless I was hosting a server for a game, or like TS somthing like that.
