So after not playing online poker for 4 months due to moving house, rubbish computer etc - my new laptop has arrived and as discussed yesterday my internet is not- due to my free wireless router not arriving from orange.
I went out last night and bought a wireless router as Orange said they would give me the set up details and i could get access to their wireless connection through a belkin router as a stop gap, until the correct one arrives.
I didnt have too much idea what i needed, and to be honest Curry's were not to much help - and i ended up with a Belkin Wireless G Router which is fo rsharing connection - not setting it up.
Could someone post a link for the part i need please as I cannot get answers anywhere
I will pay for the info via heads up game if need be -reallty wanna get on the internet
thanks guys

Hi Smithy, Others on here will know far more than me but I'd say you can use this one to set up your internet. Just looks like a standard router?  If your new broadband is activated can't see why this router wouldn't do what you needed i.e. get your computer online. Have you given it a try to see if it works? http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=136493 |

It says -
''Connect your cable/DSL Modem to your Belkin Wireless G router to allow your computers to share Broadband Internet Access.
I tried to set it up , and it said now'' connect the blue cable from your modem to your belkin router''
I cannot do that. It is a wireless set up.
Am I being stupid!!!

Your not being stupid no.
You cannot connect to the internet and share the connection at the same time with the router you currently have.
What you require is a Wireless router WITH a built in ADSL Modem
what you have is a wireless router sens modem...
To get it working the diagram goes like this
TELEPHONE SOCKET ----> ADSL MODEM -> WIRELESS ROUTER
OR
TELEPHONE SOCKET --> WIRELESS ROUTER WITH BUILT IN MODEM
You need a modem to actually connect to the internet which you dont have at the moment... march back to currys and tell them you want a wireless router with a built in ADSL modem.

No that would be me then!  ( but you should always give these things a try!  ) Two bloody boxes connected to phone socket....how messy is that? Here's hoping a return to Curry's is not a major trek for you! |

In fact tell them you want this
BELKIN F5D7632UK4 Wireless Routers 587353
PS Probably best if you try and find this product on the shelf yourself Smithy. Keep Curry's staff involvement to an absolute minimum on this  ! |

I like the staff at my local curry's well one honest one at least, went in to buy my first ever pc a few years back and his words were don't buy one here go to this local specialist. Result of this conversation a pc built to order in 2 days to my specifications at about half the cost of one off the shelf and if there was any problems a simple phone call or 2 mile drive to get help. |

The home line is not used for calls - so I take it I dont need microfilter??
Why will there be 2 boxes attached- does the product I have to buy tonight have 2 boxes included within it
Told you I was a numpty when it came to this - now imagine this same conversation with Curry's staff - I would still be there now lolol

You still need a microfilter even if you are not using the phone line for calls... The product you will buy is only one box as it has a built in Modem... On the back of the "box" there will be a symbol for ADSL or line or a picture of a phone... this cable goes from the phoneline to your router... It will have a pamphlet explaining how you set everything up but you will only have 1 Does everything box  |
