router problem

by mdelyea . Updated 24 years, 4 months ago

Don’t answer the “user deleted” question, this is th real question.
Client has a Dlink DI 713P wireless router. Client is using broadband cable and rj45 cabling instead of wireless connection (router has 3 rj45 connectors as well as wireless connection). I can get to the router’s setup (192.168.0.1), but router is unable to obtain settings from the ISP via the cable modem. If the computer is connected directly to the cable modem I can access the internet. If I plug the cable modem into the router I cannot. HERE ARE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW – I am familiar with setting up routers, this router was a gift to the client (it came without a power supply so they (shudder) plugged the power supply from their scanner into it (same voltage, differentamps and I think this is the problem)), don’t ask what OS, read the header on this section (OK, 98 if you must know), I CAN connect to the router setup, IT can’t get info from the cable modem, I know what a WAN is and that the cable modem must be plugged into the WAN port, WAN port can autosense crossover or not, OJ did it.
