Tiscali & Netgear DG834G

Worzel Gummidge · 2006-02-02T20:30:17+00:00

I have Tiscali Broadband and a Negear DG834G with built in modem and no Ethernet cable.Now everything is set up and all lights are as should be on mode and signal strength is 54mbps. Nonetheless, it is saying connectivity is low and it is showing an invalid IP address in properties for the connection.Any ideas? Somebody suggested I need to contact Tiscali helpdesk for them to clone my IP or reset something?

...and you're the one who selectively misquoted me to distort the meaning. Reread my post where I stated: "I freely admit my relative ignorance of updating the DG834G (and other routers) firmware over wireless. Updating router firmware is something I only use where necessary - "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Other forms of firmware upgrade are or have been notoriously risky e.g. power failure during a motherboard BIOS update.

Kudos to Netgear for good design in this case. However, unless I am sure of my ground, my instinct is to use caution when updating a router's firmware."

No, I'm the one who read wha you wrote as meaning precisely what I said above. If you interject parenthesised remarks, expect your post to become hard to decipher.

In any events I'm finished talking to you. IMHO you're clueless but too arrogant to admit you might be mistaken (I find the quote below to be remarkably apt) but there's no point prolonging the discussion.

If Mark knows from experience that his changing the encryption setting via the wireless always leaves him locked out, who are we to argue :-)

Your apology is accepted.

You had trouble with this? "I freely admit my relative ignorance of updating the DG834G (and other routers) firmware over wireless."

Byee.

[parenthesised remark is noted :-)]

You are entitled to your opinion, no matter how bizarre.
