Wireless broadband

[chrisf...@mynow.co.uk]

I'm trying to use wireless broadband via a Belkin Wireless G Router.
(The broadband modem connects wirelessly to the ISP's base station.)
However, the dialer application that I run on my PC to bring up the
connection fails to find the modem. It works fine without the router.

It appears to all be connected correctly and the router setup ran
without any errors. All the connections are Ethernet not USB. I'm
able to configure the router in Internet Explorer (after bringing up a
dial-up connection.) I'm using PPPOE as recommended.

Can someone help me out please? Should the router be transparent to the
dialer?

dialler ?

If you put the user / password details in the router it should work if
the "modem" or ISP supplied kit is configured appropriately to work
with PPPoE.

I've seen several postings where people can't get this to work. What
does this "dialler" package do ?

The dialer authenticates the username & password I have to provide so
that I can use the connection on my PC. It has 'Connect' and
'Disconnect' buttons. I've configured the router with this username.

I believe that you have swapped an USB ADSL modem for a ADSL router. If so,
just remove the dialer software from your PC using add/remove software.
Reboot then make sure that your browser is set to "never dial a connection".

Also make sure that the routers config settings have your correct
username/password for your service. Also check the VC settings, the protocol
used (usually PPPoA)

You have an external aerial for this then I assume ie this router does not
use the phone line or cable ? Just interested.

I've managed to get rid of the dialer by going thru' the Internet
connection setup wizard in Control Panel.

At the moment the PC -> router -> broadband modem all uses cables. The
modem has a small aerial and connects wirelessly to a base station
owned by my ISP and it doesn't need a phone line. Its only a 512 KB
link but light years faster than my old dial-up connection!!!

How far are you from your ISP then ?

The company is called Now (http://www.mynow.co.uk/). The service is
available in various places in Thames Valley & W.London. (e.g. Reading,
Woking, Maidenhead, Slough.)

Ok thanks for that, must confess and apologise, I thought you had the
wrong idea about wireless broadband until I did a search on Google. Did
not realise how many areas of the country had it. Anyway I assume that you
are now ok ?
