How can I connect my comcast internet to my wireless router and have it work?
Urgh! I seriously even talked to comcast on this one and they told me that they couldn’t help me. No joke. Their computer networking analyst couldn’t help me.
So I got comcast. I have a modem. The techs that set it up registered it on my mac powerbook.
I bought a linksys router. It was the cheapest one at best buy. I cannot run an install on my mac because the cd is not compatible.
My boyfriend will be using it too so I decided to set it up using his pc which is a compaq. I ran the whole setup program on it. I ran it multiple times. I can’t pick any signal. It definitely doesn’t work. I decided to connect it straight to the pc from the modem to go to comcasts website. It worked for about 3 minutes and then stopped.
I have no idea what to do at this point. Any help?
Don’t worry about the install from the Linksys cd. You don’t need it.
What you do have to do is bridge your modem and have the Linksys router connect to comcast. It involves doing stuff like typing 192.168.1.1 into the url and changing settings and stuff. The comcast guys are supposed to be able to give you directions on how to do that. I can’t personally give those directions, but maybe you can find some on google or see if anyone else knows how.
Not sure why the internet stopped after 3 min. It shouldn’t have.
