Can't get internet access for my 6th computer

Hello, Roger -

The ZyXEL P600 appears to be a wireless computer modem / router (WiFi modem / router.)

To use it with a computer, you will need Internet service (a paid internet service provider.)

See the instructions here (Establishing a Wireless Network):

In case the person who gave you the wireless router did not give you the instruction manual for it, the manual you can find here, may prove helpful:

Personal opinion: Seek out reliable relative or friend who is knowledgeable about computers and wireless routers to assist and instruct you. You will need one-on-one help.

Best wishes.

Have you run the installation program that came with the router? Unlike a switch or wireless adapter, a router has a more complex configuration and must be set up properly. You cannot simply plug in the network cable from your DSL modem to the router and expect it to work, though it will work in some circumstances.

You have to set different ip address. To clear this up this how I got my setup. I have verizon internet. I use a westell 6100g modem, I have the local ip address set for 192.168.1.1 and I got a linksys wireless router and the ip address set for 192.168.9.1. Then I plug my modem into the wan port and it works. What am I doing is setting a static ip address from my modem to the router and using the router to distribute my address through the network. If you have any printers on the network you need to change that numter to 192.168.9.x number. If you don't have two different numbers set the router will take over.

you will not be able to access from one network to another even if you are on the same workgroup. However, you can setup VPN on both side. the other is to use commercial remote software. i.e.: vnc, mypc, teamviewer, etc.... they don't need anything else, but do require setup on both machine. This is much easier, don't need any permission from the network administrator, or company permission.

Upgrade to the latest firmware on the modem, disable the modem firewall, or bridging the modem will resolve this

Does your mac book has a phone port? You can try that to setup a dial up connection an see if it will work.

because of zyxel support only zyxel product only
