  • Router help please

    I'm really being a complete computer dumbo tonight. I've just upgraded my internet package with my provider,Orange. They've sent me a Netgear Wireless-N 150 ADSL2+ Modem Router. At present I use a speedtouch ADSL modem which has never been a problem. I thought I would have a go at setting up this router, thinking it would be straightforward. My computer is across the other side of the room to the phone line and the speedtouch has always been connected via an extension. Now am I being completely stupid ? I started doing all the connections as instructed on the disc provided. Now am I being extra stupid ? I thought the point of it was that it was wireless, why do I have to connect the router via an ethernet cable to the pc? Or is it just to set it up ? I gave up in the end and I am back on my speedtouch connection for now. Either I'm too tired for this tonight or I am having a "senior moment"
