Morning all

I am trying to set up a wireless network at home as I have just bought a new laptop and want to connect to the internet wirelessly.

I have a netgear router and have followed all the instructions to the T. Turn PC off, modem off and router off.

Plug ethernet cable from modem into internet port on router. Connect router to PC with ethernet cable.

Power up modem, power up router, power up PC.

I then log into the router on the PC and go through all the settings. It detects I have a PPPoE modem, I input the connection settings for Iburst and click apply.

However when it tests for the internet connection it always fails and I cannot connect to the net.

Any ideas or remedies?

MTU should be 1352. I've done various tests (as it was a user that informed iburst about their mtu issue) and found different MTUs work for different tasks and 1410 works best for me :)
