Re: d-link router problems
looks to me like you have bought a dsl router which has a modem built in,if there is no ethernet port labeled wan then you can't plug a cable modem in,Ive not looked at modem just gone with the name.I am taking forgranted your on cable and not freedom dsl?

Re: d-link router problems
wired will be cheaper but you will have trailing cables,think of a figure to spend then look at dabs or ebuyer or aria

Re: d-link router problems
many thanks - I would prefer wireless - my pc is situated in the kitchen and if I'm totally out, my daugters PC is right above me - I'd say no more than 7ft above my head so I could always run up a cable but like I said I would prefer wireless, again many thanks

Re: d-link router problems
If the modem is near kitchen pc you place a wireless cable router there,switch off modem and plug the modem into wan port,cat 5 patch cable to your pc,install a wireless pci card in upstairs pc boot modem then boot router but first make sure you read the manual lol lol

Re: d-link router problems
This is what you want:

Means you'll need to install a card inside your daughter's computer though (not difficult to do at all really):
