It says i need to use the "high speed" usb port for my mobile internet modem. Where can i find one

96000.

Unplug router for a minute or so and re connect also check if the computer is even recognizing the router in control panel under network conections

you try form USB or LAN interface \\Ethernet connection (recommended)

1. Plug one end of the RJ-11 telephone cable into an unfiltered telephone wall jack (enabled for Sympatico High Speed Internet service).
2. Plug the other end of the RJ-11 telephone cable into the DSL port on the back of the modem.
3. Plug one end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable into your computer's Ethernet port.
4. Plug the other end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the Ethernet Port 1 on the back of the modem.
5. Insert the rounded end of the power adapter into the Power port and the dual-pronged plug end into your power outlet.
6. Press the power button to turn on the modem.

USB connection

1. Plug one end of the RJ-11 telephone cable into an unfiltered telephone wall jack (enabled for Sympatico High Speed Internet service).
2. Plug the other end of the RJ-11 telephone cable into the DSL port on the back of the modem.
3. Plug the small, square end of the USB cable into your computer's USB port.
4. Plug the wide, flat end of the USB cable into the USB port on the back of the modem.
5. Insert the rounded end of the power adapter into the Power port and the dual-pronged plug end into your power outlet.
6. Press the power button to turn on the modem.

Personally, I would favour the use of a High Speed Powered Hub. It will ensure no damage to the USB Port due to overloads.
Less than a tenner on Ebay is a good price for piece of mind.

1. Unplug the power cable from your high-speed internet modem.
2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (included) to the number 1 port on the router.
3. Connect the other end to the Ethernet port on your computer.
4. Connect an Ethernet cable from your high-speed Internet modem into the Internet port on the router.
5. Plug the power back into your high-speed internet modem. Plug the power adapter into the router and wait 30 seconds before plugging it into a power outlet.
6. Wait 30 seconds for the router to fully connect and open an Internet browser window (such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari). Type http://vizio.home or http://192.168.1.1 in the browser window and press Enter. The Quick Start App will automatically start.

No its not defective. If you use your usb modem, plug it in to a working port. It is the default or home port of the usb modem since it was installed on your system. If you use other port for it then it will not work.

If you connect the computer directly to the modem, does it work?
If that works then the modem is working.
Now connect the computer to the router and the modem to the router.
You will need to open the set up page of the router to check the settings of the router.
You can set up the router without the CD also.
It is very easy.

Right-Click on My Computer, Properties, Device Manager, then Click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers, u will see the USB port available on your computer there. Also, at the same time you are doing this, try checking all the USB ports on your computer...most times, the HIGH-Speed USB Ports (USB 2.0) are always seperated from the other USB ports...so try the USB port seperated from others.
In your own case, Acer TravelMate 2303LCi has just 3 USB slots, a PC card slot, modem and network slot. No floppy drive, no TV-out, no IR, no Wi-Fi. So check-out USB Ports, the USB port infront of the Laptop beside the Audio Port and and the Speaker, on the extreme-right is your USB 2.0 High-Speed Port.

1. USB modem is connecting a PC USB port with a DSL phone line: CANNOT be connected to a ROUTER LAN (ethernet NOT USB port).
2. Wireless ROUTER is NOT a modem and it CANNOT connect the Internet (or WAN) LAN port to any "phone line"
3. Connect the Router Internet (WAN) port to Modem (you need a LAN MODEM = a modem with a LAN/ETHERNET port)
4. Be sure your internet is running before strting ROUTER configuration with Router Company CD
