I have a netopia wireless router, I've just had comcast install the internet however I would like to install the router. the modem to my computer accommodate only one ehternet cable at a time and it requires that I plug Ethernet cable from the router to the comcast modem, please help!

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.

Your ISP should have given you the following information...
Static IP, Internet IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Static DNS 1-3.
With that information at hand, follow tis link to the router user manual and go to Page 11 of the manual to go through the step by step process of setting the router up for an internet connection.

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the port on the Comcast modem to the WAN port on the Berklin (Belkin????) router.
Use another Ethernet cable to connect one of the LAN ports on the router to the Ethernet port on your computer.
Start Internet Explorer on your computer.
Connect to the web-interface inside the router.
Run the "network setup wizard".
Run the "wireless setup wizard".

Router setup
Go to the control panel and un-install the program that the Comcast cd installed. then:
Shutdown your PC. Unplug the power from the router and the cable modem.
Wait 30 sec. then plug in the power to the cable modem, wait 30 sec. then plug the power to the router. Wait till you have "Internet" light then restart your PC. The PC should pick up an IP address and you should be able to get on-line.
Did Comcast reset you wireless router settings? If so, you may need to set up your SSID and security settings.


Customizing Wireless Settings of the Router
Having default wireless settings on the Linksys router may cause conflict with other Linksys routers within your network range. Linksys suggests changing the SSID (network name) and the Wireless Channel of your router. Also, if it is possible, enable the Wireless Security of your router.
To change the router’s SSID or the wireless network’s name, click here.
To change the router’s channel, click here.
To enable the wireless security on the router, click here.
If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.
Thanks, Joe

If that's hooked to comcast you can only have one computer hooked up to it, and no modems as they block mac address. If you are a Comcast customer there is a workaround. Turn on your wife's wireless if she hasit, if not get her a wireless card USB is easiest. Turn on sharing on that wireless card and you will be able to access the internet through your wifes computer, and not run afoul of your Comcast agreement. Or request an upgrade to a wireless router from Comcast but your rent goes from $3.00 per month to $10.00!

where can i find a quick install guide for model # ZSR1134WE

are you sure your hooking the comcast modem in the right place?

Can you ping them, there may be a type of firewall that is blocking that traffic on the netopia router. Try and ping between computers and see what you have any comminication.
