Computer Help Plz!

hi folks,
i need help badly!

ive recently got Sky Broadband, i havnt set it up yet cause i dunno wat im doing.

I have a BT phone line currently.

Sky sent me a Broadband starter kit, which consisted of a CD and a wireless router, but the thing is - the wireless router isnt very wireless, it has about SIX leads with it. :n:

Im just wondering do these leads need to be connected to my BT line at all times..
Because if so, the wireless router doesnt seem all that wireless :panic:

Any help appreciated!

:hug:

If you put the CD in the computer it tells you how to do it!

Very easy!

Router connects to the phone line - then your pc is wireless!

sorry about wrong section.

i can understand the CD ok - But if you read my question, i was just asking if the leads need to be conected to my BT line at all times?

Im guessing it does.

i didnt mean to come across nasty :hug:

Yeah the bt line needs to be connected aslong as you want internet access, it will have some micro filters in the box (2 i think) when you do the step by step on the cd it will tell you :y:

The wireless part refers to how your computers connect to the router. The router must be plugged into at least a power supply and a phone line :y:

one of the wires will probably be an ethernet cable so you can still run a wired connection which would be slightly quicker than running a wireless connection too.... so you could consider running your router close to your main PC so that you can run a wired connection to that and have any other secondary PC's or WiFi accessories running wirelessly...

just a suggestion
