Hi,
About two months ago, I recieved Fios service form Verizon. Everything was peachy. A week ago, my brother got an early Christmas present, a PS3. I tried to connect the wireless internet of the PS3 with the M1424WR router. It turns out it was harder than I thought. I entered several pin numbers (WEP, WPA) and finnaly got it through. I ran a test run on the connection and the bloodly thing wouldn't budge. After learning through many sources this is what I know,
-The router is connected but is used only as a modum.
-I have two computer hooked up next to each other.
-I guess when the installation guy came, he didn't activate the wireless network or something like that since we didn't have any wireless devices.
-The M1424WR does NOT show up on any of the computers.

I tried calling Verizon tech support but it's a piece of crap. My friend tried to fix it but no cigar. Is there something I'm missing? Please help. I would perfer not to call up the Fios guy to come and help (thats my last option).

Thanks
