Yes my friend used WinXP but after resetting this router, is that relevant? The ADSL line connects to a modem, which has an ethernet socket to connect it to your computer (or another router - in this case the troublesome one). So with this 169.x.x.x IP address does this mean that it is reset or not?

Disconnect the router from everything, including the power. 2. Connect it to the iMac via ethernet. 3. Power up the router. 4. Type 192.168.1.1 into your browser. Tell us what it says. Also: What model is your ADSL modem? Does your iMac have wireless? Daniele

Your routers DHCP server is giving the mac an IP address, but then you say that you cannot get the setup page because 168xx is managing it. So did the reset affect 169xx or not? Dave

Seemingly that not having it connected to the modem helped, as when I typed in the IP address, this time it brought up a welcome screen: "You are connected to your NETGEAR wireliess router! Next, we will guide you through connecting to the internet and enabling your wireless network." [click OK to proceed] The next screen: "Detecting Connection Type on Internet Port... Please wait a moment...." Nothing happens. I tried waiting for quite a while but nothing. Tried it again, but this time plugged into the modem. Still nothing. Tried resetting it inbetween each attempt. To answer your questions, yes my iMac has wireless and yes it's switched on (!), the model of the modem is a BT Voyager 210. |
