Hi
I have just signed up to the latest AOL deal that gives a free Dell laptop and Netgear router. I am really struggling I tried to use the disk to set up the connection and it failed. Following instructions and changing passwords and screen name AOL said it must be the line. Following a line check the got BT to sort it. BT said they had fixed the line but still no connection from router to internet. The engineer came today and ocnfirmed the broad band is fine but the router still wouldn't work. He said it was the router.

I have tested the laptop on my daughters broad band and it gets a connection easily. I have tried connecting the router to her braodband cannection and although I can see the router and access 192.168.0.1 I cannot get it to cnnect to the internet at her house either.

Any suggestions?
