Rep Power: 0  |  No ethernet port - Can I still set up a wireless n/w? Hi, I have a MT882 ADSL modem which I use to connect to the net via the USB interface. I bought a netgear wireless router to enable a wireless n/w at home. I now see that I need to have the wireless router connected to the PC via the ethernet port. Problem is that I do not have a ethernet port in my pc which is 6 yrs old. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem? Thanks, Naren |

| Platinum Member  | You need to connect MT882 to Netgear router via ethernet (LAN port of MT882 to Internet port of Netgear) - I presume that you have already done so. I believe that you problem is that you cannot connect PC to Netgear router via ethernet because your PC does not have an ethernet card. The answer is quite simple. Buy a gigabit LAN card from the market or eBay. They are quite cheap. Check with any PC assembler/supplier and he should be able to give you a decent card for Rs. 600~Rs.1000. The investment will not be useless. As whitestar_999 suggest read the guide and follow the principle. I have a guide for Netgear WGR614 also: Setup of UT-300R2 with Netgear WGR614v7
