How do i connect multiple devices wirelessly to my Nighthawk X10?
I've just bought the Nighthawk X10 router with the Netgear VDSL modem, i was able to replace my BT home hub with it and get it working, but i can only connect one device at a time wirelessly, not sur...
I've finally cracked it!!!
recommed instructions for use.
step 1. i had 2 shots of vodka.
step 2. Before luaching the DM200 into a brick wall and clubbing it with a metal object, i decided to take it upon myself to click on the, do it yourself option, which a warning came up saying that i would need networking experiencee. I thought to myself what could possibly go wrong, this is my first time!
step 3. By doing step 2, it brought me onto the admin page, i found the link to update the firmware, so i updated it, while it was updating, i was reading all the update information, and theres a heading that clearly states, something along the lines of making the installation process easier.
step 4. i changed the modem from modem + router mode to modem only mode. (press apply)
step 5. i manually inputted the ISP that BT gave me (bthomehub@btbroadband.com), no password, then changed the dail up setting to always on which is just under the login. (press apply)
step 6. i plugged my router into the modem, and the internet came on, so before i proceeded, i had another shot of vodka, tried google on my PC, wouldnt work, so i tried to connect my phone, IT WORKED!!! i could now finally connect multiple devices, go me. I then proceeded to use safari on my phone, IT WORKED!!! So i turned my laptop off and then on, and the internet came straight up and worked. :)
step 7. Well since ive already opened this bottle of vodka, i now may as well drink to this unbelievable success from what i can only describe myself as a noob to this. :)
Thank you for all your time to help me out, may you all have a great weekend.

That's BT.

What's special about the Saudi IP address? I just reached it from
here, but that's not a criterion which would concern me much. If you
can reach "www.netgear.com" and Google ("8.8.8.8"), then I'd say that
you have a working Internet connection. What else doesn't work?
