Techie Help Needed

    Hey there folks,

    I am the unfotunate subscriber to the 3mb Digiweb Metro package with the 30Gb cap and I am looking for help in getting the thing working wirelessly!

    I am using the cable modem at the moment to connect it to 2 pcs, and the only problem is that because its cable I can't hook up my Netopia 2247 NWG wifi router.

    I know that switches can be connected to the Thomson cable modem but what I am looking to do is connect up my netopia to the Thomson via ethernet and hopefully set up a wifi network that way!

    Anybody got any ideas that will help me with this issue?

    Thanks a million in advance!

    I have just phoned Digiweb support regarding this issue and have been informed by quite a helpful bloke on their support team that, even though the documentation that comes with the cable router states that it can be hooked up to a switch, this is not in fact the case and that the documentation is older than the router itself.

    So basically from what I gather, if you don't go out and buy yourself a wifi cable router you can not get wifi working in anyway what so ever.

    Now I am sure that there is a way to get this working LOL And i'm will to try anything to get it up and running.

    So again any help from you techies out there would be greatly appreciated!

    Why do you need to use the Netopia.

    If you buy a wireless access point and a switch, surely that would work without having to reconfigure the Netopia from DSL router to Wireless Access Point.

    Sorry, did not see you second post in time.

    Am somewhat surprised by that but am not an expert on cable modems.

    Digiweb don't know their arse from their elbow the way I see it.

    You won't be able to get that router working with digiweb because it's an ADSL modem router. So it will work with a DSL signal on your phone line but not with that Thomson modem

    What you need is a WLAN router which you can plug the Thomson into. You then configure the router to use the IP adresses digiweb gave you to communicate with their WLAN. The WLAN router does not include a modem, the Thomson has to be the modem.
