netger (refurbed router?) - no internet connection!!
- Thread starter lefty1
- Start date
i think the wizzard might start it again, if not there's a tiny little button near the arieal, hold it in for 15 - 20 seconds....router will restart... type in 192.168.1.1 and you should see the router welcome page.

On the router setup page....under "Maintenence" select "Router Status"
Then you will see "Region" and next to that will be "Select Region"...just click on the downward arrow next to that and change it to UK...
Hope this helps...

Just looking at the netgear forums and if the router is set to the incorrect region then you will have probs connecting to it wirelessly as they use different frequencies....Just looking now to see if there is any way to change the region...
thats correct, but i think like i say it's in the initial booting up of the router, the very 1st time you use it and i think either the wizard and if not a hard reset will take you back to the initial config page where this setting is...

if you click on "Wireless Settings" on the top left it should then allow you to change the region...

lol.... good work.
not really.... you have now created a home network, maybe have a look at sharing and that but sounds like your good to go.... you could give your pc's and your lap top a static ip if you like, but that's if you want to map network drives or use stuff like tightvnc - makes it easier....all depends....
but well done...:Clap:

have you installed the printer on the pc ?
• Click Start and then click Control Panel.
• Click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Printers and Faxes.
• In the Printers and Faxes folder, I clicked the printer's icon and, in the tasks pane, I clicked Share This Printer.
• I opened the printer's Properties dialog box, and clicked on the Sharing tab.
• I clicked Share Name, and then clicked OK.
That's it—the printer was immediately available for other computers to use.
Now that I had a network printer, I was ready to connect to it and print from other computers on the network.
To connect to the printer
• I opened Control Panel, and clicked Printers and Other Hardware.
• I clicked Add a Printer.
• Instead of adding a local printer, though, I clicked Printer Connection and then browsed the network for the printer.
• Click Start and then click Control Panel.
• Click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Printers and Faxes.
