Hi all. I have an issue. I purchased a Netgear WGT624. It came with one blue ethernet cable and a usb dongle (which i dont need). i connect the ethernet cable to my computer and have no wire for the router to connect to my phoneline.

Overall i am very confused. Do i need another wire or some other piece of equipment ?

**-Dan-** · 07-29-2007, 01:34 PM

Does the phone line cable not go into the router? I am laughing at myself now because I myself have a router setup but I just can't remember the layout lawl.

**AndyMosh** · 07-29-2007, 01:40 PM

You should have got a cable which goes from the phone line socket in the router to the phone socket in your double adapter (one used for phone, and other for router) i recommend:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10M-RJ11-to-BT...ayphotohosting

It's a phone socket to RJ11 (the cable whcih goes in the phone line socket on the router).

Anything like that will do.

You have to have broadband

eldiablov · 07-29-2007, 01:42 PM

That link can not work. Due to the fact that i dont have the connection that enables that wire to be connected. terrible sentence but im tired of this stuff.

i only have them big ethernet ports. This is what confuses me.

& explosions - I am not a total moron.

The phone line cable i currently have will not fit into the router.

explosions · 07-29-2007, 01:47 PM

Well since you have broadband you should have an ISP supplied modem..Right?

eldiablov · 07-29-2007, 01:50 PM

but i bought a netgear because the speedtouch 330 is a piece of sh*t

explosions · 07-29-2007, 01:54 PM

Then you should have bought an ADSL router like this one

eldiablov · 07-29-2007, 02:01 PM

well unfortunately i didnt. As you well know. Is there no wire that i can buy or something ?

explosions · 07-29-2007, 02:03 PM

Phone wire -> speedtouch 330 -> router

is the only way

eldiablov · 07-29-2007, 02:03 PM

so what was the point in buying the netgear in the first place ?

explosions · 07-29-2007, 02:05 PM

Wireless.... Hooked to more than one computer.... stuff like that

eldiablov · 07-29-2007, 02:06 PM

forget it. I might break it and take it back.

**AndyMosh** · 07-29-2007, 02:06 PM

You need an ADSL router like me.

Speectouch 330 is a usb modem, it goes:

Code:

phone socket>double adapter>phone
                                                |
                                                >usb modem>computer>internet

The point of buying a router is that you can either have wireless or have fast file transfer.

eldiablov · 07-29-2007, 02:10 PM

apologies to myself for being a moron.

The problem is that the speedtouch wont even connect to the netgear. FFS. What should i do to take it back ? PC world wont accept that it's the wrong modem probably.

**bossmanuk** · 07-29-2007, 02:10 PM

Don't take knock off advice from these people. The answer to your question is quite simple.

You have purchased a Wireless Router, NOT a modem. To connect to the internet, both a modem and router are required. If your old modem connected via ethernet, then you can connect your modem to your router via ethernet (with the phone line going into your modem).

Being in the UK, you will probably have previously owned a USB modem, so you will have to buy a Modem router. Here's the one I adivse:

How long ago did you buy it? There is a 28 day change of mind policy integrated into UK law - they will accept a refund or an exchange.

eldiablov · 07-29-2007, 02:13 PM

i bought it today. So you're telling me that they have to exchange it if i say it's the wrong one ?

**bossmanuk** · 07-29-2007, 02:15 PM

Yes they do, and that's coming from a Dixons group (PC world included) employee.

eldiablov · 07-29-2007, 02:16 PM

bossmanuk. You are a lifesaver. Even though you have that stupid quote in your sig. God bless you.

**bossmanuk** · 07-29-2007, 02:23 PM

The quote has been removed, but remember under English Law they have to exchange or refund. If they are really stubborn and say no, just tell them that one of the guys in PC World told you to get that one, then they'll definatly do it :P.

eldiablov · 07-29-2007, 02:26 PM

Thanks for the removal

How does the packaging need to be ? All original yes ?

**bossmanuk** · 07-29-2007, 02:29 PM

All original packaging should be taken, and make every effort to put it in how it was taken out. They will check everything is there (cables included).

eldiablov · 07-29-2007, 02:33 PM

Cheers bossmanuk. I will PM you tomorrow if all goes well.

eldiablov · 07-30-2007, 12:55 PM
