Hi Folks, I have a problem with the above gateway. After it deciding not to work and not being able to get into the webpage set up for the router I decided to reset the gateway with the reset button. This all worked fine and I manually set up the ISP and managed to connect to the Web. Then I decided to set up the wireless security and used WEP 128 encription. Generated a pass key made a note etc and have not been able to access anything since!!! I know what you are thinking and I have put the pass key in and even the encription but its still not working. I have tried to reset the gateway 3 times since and it wont work on either wireless or through a lan cable.

Running Win xp media centre on a new (ish) puter with all updates on and no spyware etc. ISP is wanadoo and I have the settings lol

HELP!!!!! its driving me mad

Has it discovered the IP from your modem? Without that you can't connect to the Internet.

Well, you need to remove the WEP configuration from both ends.
