I help run a charity called Help to Educate and I recently bought a Netgear DG834G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Firewall Router from Amazon UK for a hostel in Nepal that has just got ADSL. I think it is v4.
We have spent the last few weeks tearing our hair out in frustration because we could not connect to the internet. Firstly, we had to change the filter as the line is slightly different in Nepal than the UK. Secondly, we tried the installation CD and could not continue with the installation because it could not find an internet connection. On the router, all the lights flash up apart from the internet which is remains red. We tried the following: 1. Connecting the router with and without a filter 2. On several different computers 3. With and without the extension cable. 4. Installed a locally purchased ADSL modem to test the line -it works fine. 5. Rebooting the router via the white button at the back the router. I can verify the following: 1. The line works and ADSL is present 2. It is connected properly. It is 256kbps. 3. We followed the instructions to the letter. 4. We are using Windows XP Pro S2 On Saturday, I connected remotely to their computer via CDMA and tried to solve the problem without any success. I know enough about computers to set up an ADSL connection but this problem baffles me. I then went to the Nepal Telecom Communications (NTC) website to follow instructions on how to set up the ADSL. It can be found here. We have borrowed the ADSL modem from a shop to the test the line and I prefer not to pay the extra expense of purchasing the modem. My questions are: 1.) Does any one know how to get the DG834G ADSL router to connect to the internet? IF NOT: 2.) Can we connect the ADSL modem to the router and share the internet connection wirelessly rather than use the computer? I would appreciate any advice as I have used my own money to do all these things and would really like to set up wireless ADSL between two computers as one will be used by the children in the hostel and the other will be used by the staff. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me.
