Why do they have to make so many different boxes?  
I won't ask you to do anything to mess up the box I promise.
Open your favourite browser and type in the address bar http://192.168.2.1 and [enter] PLEASE NOTE there is no 'www'
When the opening page is shown let me know if resembles the one shown in the attachment.

Please close the browser/tab after viewing the page

Hi BB....don't think I can do this (not sure though) because I haven't installed the BB disc that came with the router box which I had to on on the desktop PC....as I say, not sure though.

You don't need a disc as others have said but I would go further than that as I think it causes more problems than it solves so never ever use one again.

[silversurfer44]

I agree with BritBrat re the disc.

Did you type the address in as shown in the attachment? I'm not saying you didn't but that seems to be standard on all Seimens.
Would you please try again. If it doesn't work type it in without the http:// just use the numbers and dots.

Hi, have typed in again as given, also without the http and it comes up the same in IE and if I Google it it comes up with a load of sites but clicked on a few - no pics or same page as you have.....sob

Is the laptop connected to the router via ethernet?

If not go to a box that is.

This may seem a bit complicated but it is not just follow the instructions:

Sorry I am using XP so may have to come back with slightly different instructions for Windows7.

From start menu button select run from the right hand menu.
A popup box will appear then type in that box "cmd" without the two "" and press OK
Another box come up and now type "ipconfig /all" again without the "" and press enter key.

Tell us what numbers you see begining with 192.168. we are after the one named "Default Gateway"

Just firing up my windows 7 machine but from memory is you type "cmd" in the search box it should come up to click.

I was nearly right, click the windows icon bottom left and type "cmd" then follow as above.

[silversurfer44]

Don't worry were not done yet. Don't try and look for it on the internet you are working locally only. You can disregard what Google says that's a problem with browsers.

OK try entering http://192.168.1.1 and see if that works.

If BritBrats idea is too complicated. It is right though.

I'm on the desktop not got the laptop on yet...the desktop is windows XP

Just read Colins reply, I've clicked on that link you have given me and it's taken me to the 1.1 address straight away and asking for password which I think I know...got in now and clicking on SECURITY this is the message*

* have taken the info off atm

[BritBrat]

Weldone chrissie, my instructions were to find the right numbers so you can ignore all that now.

That message you got is what we need to know or change.

I will let SS continue as to many instructions may confuse you and I am sure he is better aat it than me.

[silversurfer44]

Well at least we got there, I forgot it comes up as link in the post.
The page that gave you the information, did it look anything like the one in the attachment I have posted?

No it didn't have the pic on it Colin but tells you to click on the menu to see what you want re the connections et al

[silversurfer44]

That's ok I think we are heading in the right direction. You will be a techie before long.
OK is there a menu item that takes you to a page that looks something like the one I have post this time?

[attachment deleted by admin]

[chrissie]

No it isn't exactly the same under wireless network mine looks like it could be old version of that page but it does have SSID stuff on it transmission mode, channel, SSID broadcast (on or off) it's on atm

[silversurfer44]

That's fine, now is there a tab or menu item on that page that says advanced settings?
Some thing like the one below.

[attachment deleted by admin]

[chrissie]

No tabs on mine on any of the pages but that page is on the menu and I have got it up now
