PLEASE HELP ME!!
i really want to connect my nintendo wii to my dsl connected internet. when my internet service company instructed me on connecting my modem, they said that my ethernet cable was not need. i have not used my ethernet cable since, and have no problem with my internet services. this is the first wireless router i have ever connected, but when i insert the router set up disc, i get two options:
replace my existing router
use both of my routers
i didn't know which one to choose, so i picked to use both.
i follow all of the on-screen instructions until i get to the part where it says to connect my ethernet cable to the LAN port on the back of the router. i don't have my ethernet Cable connected so i plug it in to the back of the computer and the other end to the router. after all of this, it says my router could not be found!! PLEASE HELP!!! (i'm desperate)
