Connecting 1184 Wireless Broadband Router to a Mac computer
I recently purchased a used Dell/True Mobile 1184 Wireless Broadband Router and am connecting an iMac via ethernet and a Mac Book via wireless. However, I don't seem to have a signal when connected through the ethernet cable. I know my modem works, how do I troubleshoot the router (I don't have the accompanying software). I spoke with Dell support and am assured that it is compatible with my computer.
thanks!

Hi,
A few questions for you..
1) Mac computer works when connected directly to the modem via ethernet.. Correct?
2) If it does, it means the ethernet card on the MAC system is fine. Does the wireless MAC work through the Dell Wireless Router?
3) If it does, what does it indicat on the wired MAC for the Network connection? Connected or Not Connected?
4) When you saying you dont get a signal, i presume you have no access to internet but the connection status for wired says "Connected". Correct?
5) Who is your ISP and what is the make of your modem?
