Zyxel wireless router

[Magnum]

I can not get a Zyxel wireless router nbg 418n working correctly.

It gets a great connection but my browser will not connect ?

i find the only way that really works correctly is to use the "Wireless Connection Wizard"

Make sure your computer is using DHCP and check the DNS settings in the router.

[Magnum]

It is using those settings.

I can't believe the amount of difficulty for this task,
I think I will eventually get it going.

The back has 4 LAN ports and one WAN port.

I am just using LAN 1.

I don't think it is my 2 antennas.

Wifi card has a speed range of 12 - 64 Mbps while the wireless router has a speed of 100 Mbps.

WiFi single antenna is about 1 inch in length as opposed to 10 inches for both antennas of my router.

This is back of my router, cat 5 cable is connected to Ethernet connection of both my laptop that has Win XP and a desktop system with Linux.

Where is the internet connection?

[Magnum]

I thought that the 2 antenna's would be picking it up from the apt. office ?

Like my wifi card in my laptop does.

Anyone with experience with this ?

I need to use the wireless router as a client bridge - in other words, a wifi adaptor, not an access point. with my DESKTOP.

Look in the user guide for "universal repeater mode", I think that's what you're trying to do.

[Magnum]

Thanks Sinsi.

I tried to copy text from the manual file (pdf) using Foxit reader but could not.

It says that with Universal Repeater, the router can be both a access point and wireless client at the same time.

I will see how to do that.

I uploaded the manual here.

I managed to set it to universal repeater mode, but there is more to be done.

I can not figure out what to do next.

I posted to zyxel forum, but have not heard back.

I have a Fast Ethernet switch and was wondering if I could use it with the wireless router to get an internet connection.

I am getting desperate.  :t

You need to enter the wifi SSID and password into your zyxel router, this makes your router an "extension" of the wifi.

[Magnum]

I have typed in both IP addresses and can not get a SSID for my wifi ?

With each mistake, I should be getting closer to the answer.  :t

The Zyxel wireless router is not working properly.

I would like to return the defective item.

I could not find your Customer Service info.
