just got his as I wanted to go wireless on my laptop...

description is this..

NETGEAR ASDL WIRELESS ROUTER / MODEM BRAND NEW

BUT it doesnt have a modem...?? basically the product doesnt match the description..

or is it a case of lesson learnt..

 

pic? you do know they are built into the router dont you?

 

 

You'd use a router instead of a modem. Don't think you've been missold, more likely you misunderstood what the product was.

 

where did it say modem.in the description?if so then yes you do.need to contact the seller and see what he says.if nothing googd happens then report to ebay.

 

NETGEAR ASDL WIRELESS ROUTER / MODEM BRAND NEW

it states, /modem.. there is no modem, hence wrong product for the description, hence the c*nt is getting neg feedback..

 

every thing is there mate

you plug that into your phone line. set your laptop up with the cables and shit, then wack the dongle in the lappy, and it will connect to the router and then theat connect to the internet

no been misdescribed at all fella, read the instruction

 

Hardly fair. He maybe didn't know either. You got a product you can use, assume the posting and everything else was OK. At least make it neutral feedback. Negative seems harsh.

 

there is no dongle..

my laptop is Wifi enabled if that means anything??

 

The "ADSL" bit says it has a modem in it. Look on the back, will have a phone connection Paul.

 

the whole point of it, is to get rid of the cables..

 

WIFI - means you can connect to it wirelessly, no cables needed.

Your laptop probably has an ethernet port on the back, so at the worst, you can plug a network cable in the back of your laptop and into the ethernet port on the back of the router.

 

yeah if its wifi enabled, then it has one built in mate, so you dont need a dongle. you latop should find the router when you enable it and do a search

have a read (they are foooking hard 2 setup) but them netgears are easier than most

 

right, i'll take a couple of pics on my phone...

maybe acting abit harsh because of no cig for nearly a wekk..

My poiint is,... its ADVERTISED as a combined MODEM and Router.. but it doesnt have a modem..

 

RTFM

 

mate it has a modem!

 

whats rtfm mean??

 

this pic shows cables in the instructions

 

 

stu - its not that i dont believe you but a freind said its the wrong one... something to do with it being for cable and im on bt??

 

How come the unit itself doesnt say its an ADSL router, but the box does?

**
Sorry paul, edited my last post when i saw your pics... it looks a bit bizzare in that fooking diagram...

 

The indicator lights also suggest it wont have a modem built in as they normally have an ADSL connection light...

 

i have one, it was easy to install, i plugged my modem into it, a cable from my pc to it, and voila, wireless laptop + psp

 

the pic of the box is the ebay box..

the actual box it came in was a brown cardboard one, with Netgear wrote on it.. nothing else..

its a refurb sadvertised as NEW.. guess it is kinda new tho...

the diagram shows that it needs to be connected to a modem..

 

Errrr the box shows it as a 834DT which is a modem/router. The next pictures are of a WGT624 router!!!!!!! Right box wrong contents. Naughty ebayer.

 

fair enough.. that what my parents have..

but round my gaff I only have one Laptop no other PC's..

 

agreed box says something totally different to the item

an ADSL router IS a modem. simple as that

but a wireless firewall router, im not sure

 

havent read the thread but i have this at home with two wireless cards instead of the usb stick.

looks like you didnt buy the wirless cards for it to work as you can buy them seperate from the router/modem

i'm on broadband using a BT line and theres no probs

 

Fooking Sly Scumbags

 

could be an honest mistake? does he sell lots of computer bits? if so then it may just be a mistake

dont leave neg, or youll just get it back and he will tell you to fook off. get in contact with him and say he may have sent you the worng item

 

well he lives in Essex and my old man wants to go round..

this is the box it arrived in..



sent the c*nt a message so see what happens...

 

Right, if the listing ad said;

NETGEAR ASDL WIRELESS ROUTER / MODEM BRAND NEW


Then yes, the listing is WRONG. Because what you have there is a ETHERNET ROUTER WITH WIRELESS ACCESS POINT - not a modem.

Now the seller might have been confused here also so it's POSSIBLE it's not his fault.

What you have is a router - you plug it into an ADSL point (in the home situation this would be a broadband modem - in offices chances are it would just be a network port on the wall which comes from the main "modem")

The routher takes the internet feed from the modem, and splits it. Built in is a 4-port enthernet switch allowing you to hardwire 4 computers to you broadband, whereas before you could only have one PC hooked in. It also has a WAP (wireless access point) allowing you to connect computers, laptops, PDS's etc to it wireless'ly aswell.

So I take it you have broadband at home already? What modem do you have, and how is it connected to the computer? If it is connected via ethernet cable then you're fine - just set it up using the diagram in the pics you posted and you are sorted. If yours is a USB plug into the ocmputer then you need one of these;



A USB > Ethernet adpater. Plug the USB cable from your modem into one end (plug types vary's so get the correct one for your type) and from the other end you can plug in a cat5 ethernet "patch" cable to connect to your router (the point in the pic marked INTERNET)

Then connect the router to the PC/laptop via another cat5 patch cable, or wirelessly if your PC/laptop is wifi enabled.

HTH's!!!!

 

it was is first sale.,.

he left me pos feedback as i paid straight away...

 

Mistakes can be made ofcourse and DUDE_SWEET_FRST is correct about the feedback, have a word with him.

ADSL router doesnt mean it will have a modem as standard, but the one in the first picture does come with an integrated modem.

 

he wasnt confused when he put a different picture of a different product on the ebay auction was he... what a fooker
