Netgear DGN 1000

[seraph]

Hello everyone,

I am running into some problem setting up my Netgear DGN 1000 wireless modem.
DGN1000

I have a local ISP and have a direct LAN for Internet which I used to plug onto my PC and surf after entering my authentication details. So what I planned to do was to plug the LAN straighaway into any of the 4 ports available and setup the wifi network.

Problem -

Configuration requires an authentication.While doing so I connect the device to my PC through another LAN and the LAN from the ISP goes into the Modem but accessing the internet requires entering my credentials. So I receive a message "Internet connection not found".

Now I am really in a fix as to how to proceed. So kindly suggest a solution especially if you have encountered a similar situation. Another question is I have been provided with a CD and also an instruction leaflet giving me steps for Manual Configuration. What is the difference between the 2 approaches? Or both of them are required?

Thanks.

Ok problem 1 resolved.

Now my Android device cannot connect over static IP. I have tried setting the IP on the phone too. Nothing works.

Previously, Are Just use to connect you PC to ISP via LAN Cable, then authentication details. Are have you configured IP Address of you PC ?

I think you should configure your Netgear DGN 1000 as ONLY ROUTER with DCHP Server Enable for allocating Auto IP Address to the "Internet Sharing Device".
