    I have a TP-Link wireless router and BT Broadband - I can't get them to work - router doesn't recognise broadband connection.

    Any suggestions welcomed!

    Need a lot more detail. What is the exact model of the router, and is it a DSL modem?

    The set up I have is as follows:

    Internet => Zyxel Prestige 600 Series DSL Modem => Wireless G Router TL-WR340G

    If I leave out the wireless router I can connect to internet no problem. But when using the wireless router the link between the Zyxel and wireless router doesn't work.....

    Any assistance appreciated thanks

    Firstly, on the DSL modem, make sure that its set to bridge mode and that the VPI and VCI is set to 8 and 35 respectively. Then on the router, set the connection type to pppoe and type in your username and password (don't forget the @BTBB). It should work then.
