ethernet from the router to the computer.....open browser...goto address bar type in 192.168.0.1
a pop down login appears login/user= admin
password= password. now you are in the config page of the netgear. look for wireless settings tab and click it. scroll down towards the bottom and you will see a code in key1 ( the bubble should be filled in green). that is your encryption code right there in key1. also the maybe something typed in the PassPhrase box, which i would also right that down. once you have written it down close out of the browser, and remove the ethernet cable. now its time to view available wireless conncetions. so try to use the key 1 code first, you should be good to go ....if the key 1 doesnt work try the passphrase.

Does the DSL light come on at all when the modem is powered up?? If not, then it looks like the modem is bad.

When the modem is first powered on, all of the lights should come on and then go off after a few seconds. The power light should then begin to blink while the modem does a self test. Once that is done, the DSL light should come on and begin to flash red. If it senses a DSL connection, it will change to flash green until it has established a DSL connection. If it does not detect a DSL connection, it will continue to flash red. If the light does not flash at all or if the power light continues to flash after a minute or so, then the modem is most likely bad.

Let me know if you need more help. :)

Sounds like the modem is bad. I would get another modem and see if that fixes the issue.

default configuration settings page is 192.168.0.1. Make sure that the IP address of your machine is on the same subnet as the IP of the modem (192.168.0.x, Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0).

Let me know if you have any other questions.

The alpha numeric code are HEX numbers and this is the encrtption key.
The wireless router is configured with the encryption key and you configure your wireless card in your computer with the router's encryption settings, then other computers with a wireless card cannot access your router wirelessly unless they know the encryption setting.

Hello

Ok, you do not spesify as to which model in the speedstream range you are using, but here is some general instructions.

By default, a DHCP server is turned on the modem, and will issue a 192.168.0.x IP address to you. You may have to do a IPCONFIG /release then IPCONFIG /renew. Browse to http://192.168.0.1/
You will be prompted with a User ID and Password Login screen... you can ignore this. This is for PPPoE on the modem setup.
Click Advanced on the left menu
Click PPP Location
Select the "Bridged Mode (PPPoE is not used)." option.
Click Save Changes
You can now use the DSL modem on the WAN port of a router. You will be presented with this screen after clicking Save Changes:

If this is not clear enough, let me know the full details of the router and i will post you a manual.

Kind regards

YES. here is a link for you to follow but please read the article here before you download anything as which operating system you are using makes a huge difference to which driver to install. Also, if you are using OPTUSNET as your service provider, you can download the optus driver from www.optusnet.com.au. If you install the siemens driver, it will erase the optus settings in the modem and in the configuration file which is hidden within Windows. If this happens, you will have to reconfigure ALL the settings including your login and password.

Either the power cord is bad, or your modem is fried. need to replace one or the other.

You need to reset the modem buy holding down the reset button and then the default page should come and enter in your new user and passwordl

Sounds like the spring has broken off. You can use duck tape to hold in or you can go buy a new one from your ISP company.

Sounds like a heat issue in the modem. Can you keep it in an area where it will run cooler? You may have to replace the modem.
