My dad has a Philips SNA6500 wireless router and we can't figure out
how to get it to connect to the internet automatically. You have to go
to to 192.168.2.1 in a browser and press a "Connect" button. We've
been thinking of setting up some kind of home server to connect to
remotely, maybe remote desktop or something like that, but ff my dad
goes away to France for a few weeks and the router reboots for some
reason, then it won't be connected to the internet any more.

Does anyone know how to make the router connect to the internet
automatically? We've browsed around the config pages but can't find
anything.

Hi,
I check out the manual for your router here --->
www.stegcomputer.ch/prodspics/philips/pics_pdfs/sna6500/sna6500_00_dfu_eng.pdf
Nowhere does it say that you need to login to connect. It is set by
default to stay connected all the time. This is the case with almost
all ADSL routers I've seen (Only exceptions being when you configure
the DSL router as a bridge; then you need to initiate the pppoe
connection from the PC/Server that is is bridged to.)
You need to check with your ISP.

Regards,
Shiv

Nowhere does it say that you don't, but that is our experience.
