WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO HOOKING UP MY WIRELESS ROUTER TO MY NETOPIA ROUTER - RIGHT NOW NETOPIA IS BEING FED BY MY CABLE MODEM

Try Password: admin, 1234, serial number of unit (written underneath)

Or you could connect to it with a Ethernet Cable and open web browser and go to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.0 or 192.168.1.254 and you can access settings from there and change WEP password.

Last resort, just use the reset button on the unit.

Here's a driver-free, software-free solution.

Turn your cable-modem (or DSL-modem) off.
Turn your Netopia off.

Connect:

Ethernet--port on cable-modem <-- cable --> WAN port on Netopia.

One LAN port on Netopia <-- cable --> network-port on your computer.

Turn the cable-modem on, and wait until its lamps settle-down to a repeating pattern.

Turn the Netopia open, and wait until its lamps settle-down to a repeating pattern.

Restart your computer.

Click Start
Click Run
Type CMD
Press Enter
Type IPCONFIG
Press Enter
Look for output like: Default Gateway ... 192.168.123.456
Start Internet Explorer
Type http://192.168.123.456 (or whatever numbers you see)
Login to the web-server running "inside" the Netopia.
Click to run the "Wireless Networking Setup Wizard".
Enter an SSID of your choice.
Select the 'WPA' level of encryption.
Enter a network-password of your choice.
Click OK
Restart the router (if it did not automatically restart).

Disconnect the Ethernet cable from your computer's network-port.
Click "View Available Wireless Networks".
Click the SSID of your new network.
Click Connect.
Enter the password, when prompted.
Voila! You have a wireless connection to the internet.

connect it to the modem then reset the wireless by disonnecting the ain cable after this reset the modem the same way u did with the router and if u did it okay it should be working

yes, from cable modem to that router and to your pc or laptop.

You can connect your computer to Internet if you have a Wi-Fi card in the computer. You need to connect the modem ethernet cable to the netopia wireless router and then connect to internet through wireless connection. First task is to configure wireless network connectivity on your netopia router connecting the 1st ethernet port to your pc lan card port, you will need the netopia instruction manual for this. The wireless configuration will be through a browser window(like internet explorer/mozilla firefox). This may take roughly 20 -30 minutes.

yes it will work but you will need to login to the router interface and reset the router configurations

As im sure you found out the hard way, you have to swap the netopia out. You must've really snapped your lucky fingers for that one. I do this stuff all the time for a living, and I've never seen a Netopia not function correctly, a new one that is from your ISP anyway. Did you get the netopia from your ISP? or did you buy it on E-Bay, or Amazon.com, a netopia from another ISP wont function properly, but the wireless still should.

Bad modem, just swap it out. Its under warranty, its a new modem, that model number just came out last year. You wont even get charge for it. Its just frustrating when new equipment fails, and unfortuanatly, its becoming more and more common place it seems. Don't even get me started on my new motherboards from ASUS.

If its not a project, its no fun, right?...hehe

To setup the router you will need to log in to your router's control panel. This certainly won't be as simple as on the installer disc, yet it is still do-able. You might also want to contact Belkin's free technical support hot line. They can help you set it up with the method I described above.

Is this an ISDN modem?

Generally: Netopia Ethernet out -> Linksys WAN port with a standard ethernet cable.
(Not the yellow LAN ports! - They are for your computers/printers.)

Hooking up a router is often more that just hooking up cables. Some internet service providers ISP's (phone/cable/internet companies) have requirements to be configured into the router to allow for communication with their networks. Unless you are sure you understand the ISP's requirements perhaps you could provide a link to the ISP's support website or his name. Confirming the manufacturer and model of the router would be good too just in case the one in the heading of this message in incorrect. If you provide the required information in a comment to this message I will attempt to provide steps to hook up your router.

Generally starting with either a cable or a phone wire out of a phone jack a connection is made to a modem (often supplied by the ISP) the modem is generally connected with an ethernet cable to the wan side of a router and the router is connected from one of 4 lan ports with an ethernet cable to a computer's network adapter. There are variations on this cabling that substitute USB cables or Wireless communications.
