Got a net gear router and set up as per instructions. When I put cd in for router setup it says it can't detect a modem. I have concluded that the router and modem are not speaking to each other. How can I fix this? I have tried reseting everything. I can connect to internet directly through modem. I am using a MacBook to establish the connection although the wireless will be used by a windows laptop and an iPad also.
When I try to set it up it also pops up with a message saying IP etc is in use by something else? I asked my Internet provider what the address shuod be and it's correct
Oh and one more thing, I researched this And the main thi people suggest is typing the router ip address into my web browser but I can't connect to freakin Internet to do this!
