Hi.

I need help/advice. Im currently using my Internet using a USB cable from the Modem, but I want to use a Router I need to change from USB to Ethernet cable, and Advice on how to do it. Im on NTL.

You will need to buy yourself a router 1st as you know.

You will need to know your authentication type and protocol.

Most routers come DHCP ready so they give you an ip address automatically you will then access the router and input your details via the setup wizard.

NTL should tell you the config options you need

plus anyone you uses cable, I am on std line not cable so it may be different

in regards to the protocols and authentication

if you modem supports an ethernet connect shut down pc shut down modem
swop cables reboot modem first the PC and it should work.

go to your run box type in cmd.....press enter...then ipconfig/all....this will show you the connections to your network threw your pc...

I recently got a BT Voyager 205 Router.

It can be USB or ETHERNET. I'm running a 3 Machine Network (ethernet connection) off it, and it's simple to set up (no need to delete usb drivers etc)

Instructions are here
