Hi,
I have just bought a wireless router off Ebay, it came with no instructions :(

I have been on the Netgear site and downloaded the pdf files of installation, but i just don't understand it!

It is telling me to acquire a static ip address or something, why do i have to do this, and how?

It says i should just plug it in and my wireless computer will recognize it, it doesn't, easy plug and play i don't think so!

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Does this help at all?

Remember to connect by cable while setting it up

Thanks for the reply, although that is how to secure the network, i haven't managed to set it up yet.

At the moment i am connected to the internet through Virginmedia, my router has the cable from outside going into it, then a ethernet to my computer, also on the router is a usb connection? have i even got the right wireless router?
All that is on the back of the wireless router is the adaptor plug and one ethernet connection?

Please help me, i am going insane!

What model router is it? Not all routers are suitable for Virgin cable broadband, which is different to the broadband which comes through the bt phone line.

WG602! Sorry

I take it that means it's not suitable?

Could you direct me to a suitable one please, price is the key factor, the lower the better : )

I have been searching to see if it is suitable, and I can't find that simple bit of information. I feel quite defeated. :(

I am not recommending you buy from PcWorld (it's up to you!) but they do give the relevant information for their routers - you want one that states CABLE, not ADSL. Have a look and see if you can find one you like cheaper elsewhere:

I have the Linksys WRT 54 G which has performed well for over 2 years with my Cable broadband. I am happy with it.
