Wireless router set-up
Hi, I have a G4 Sawtooth and a G4 Powerbook both running OS X 10.4.11. I have a naked DSL line and my ISP is Verizon. Recently I received a Actiontec GT784 modem/router. I wish to use wired Ethernet on the Sawtooth and Wireless on the Powerbook. The physical connection is very straightforward, however I cannot connect to the Internet. The ISP provides no manual or instructions. An help is appreciated Cheers, Les -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Simply go into your router's setup panel, usually by directing your browser to 192.168.1.1, and establish your wireless protection means, with WPA or WPA2 being recommended. Select strong passwords/passphrases for BOTH the admin access to your router AND general access to the same. There are very good pseudo-random number generators available to assist you.

Recently I received a Actiontec GT784 modem/router. It's likely your router may need a firmware update before you place it into action. You'll need a Windoze PeeCee to upgrade the firmware. The current non-ISP specific firmware is NCS01-1.0.8 available here: http://www.actiontec.com/products/product.php?pid=215 I wish to use wired Ethernet on the Sawtooth and Wireless on the Powerbook. The physical connection is very straightforward, however I cannot connect to the Internet. Use the manual on the link above. You'll need to use the browser-based setup with your Verizon password to get the router to automatically connect. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
