However, the router does not see the modem through the PC. Checked and confirmed with the router that the PC is using a SIS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet LAN port.
On checking the local area connection on the PC it says that the Network Cable is unplugged so apparently it is not seeing the router switch port connection. Any suggestions?

Hi Peter
1. Can you get the internet on your main PC after installing the modem?
If this works OK then try go to this step
2. Connect the the WGR614 and ensure it starts up. Then open a browser on the main PC and enter
www.routerlogin.com . This will bring up a window with a user name "admin" and call for a password. Enter password as the password.
The netgear smart wizard should open. Check the setup. The default settings should be OK to start.
Click on advanced - wirless settings
Enable wirless and Enable SSID broadcast should be ticked
Now click on Setup Access list
A page with all the other device's mac addresses will show.
If there are none turn the access control off (untick it)
Click on "Add"
a new screen will appear with the mac addresses of all the devices in range seeking access will appear. When you identify your own add them to the main list.
If you don't know which are yours you will need to go to each device and find its mac address. Use a "Command prompt" and enter "ipconfig /all"
This will display the Mac addresses. Match up the ones you see on the add screen.
Add all your devices and then go back to the previous screen to ensure they are there. Turn access control back on.
This will give you wifi computers access to your server and its modem
Get back to me when you get to this stage if it still does not work.
