I just went out to staples and bought a 25foot cable for the router it is called RJ45.
I pluged it into my router and then into the back of my wifes computer.
now I also onpluged the wireless netgear thing that was pluged into a differrent port on the back of her computer now i turned on her computer and I can not get onto the inernet and it did not show anything that something new is hooked up either.
was I supposed to leave that wireless thing plugged in I am lost what do I do to make it work do I have to go into something and set it up were do I start
