    Folks,

    I switched from Clicksilver to NTL and thought I could use my old Netgear DG834G (wireless adsl router). I haven't been able to get it working. I've searched quite a bit on google and found many queries but no answers.

    Is this possible?

    I disabled the DHCP on the Netgear router and plugged the network cable from the cable modem into the router but no joy.

    Do I need to buy a wireless access point?

    Thanks in advance,

    Dopey
    p.s. Before somebody tries to shoot me for cross posting, I posted this in the broadband forum and realised that it was the wrong forum.

    Yes, been there done that.

    The ADSL router won't work. You will need a wireless access point.

    Just plug your ethernet from the NTL modem into the router.

    I have a belkin wireless router with my ntl system,

    Its an old type but I have been using NTL since the start.

    I am sure you can get faster routers.

    Unless the DG834G can have seperate wireless settings then the main settings you are out of luck.
