No connection via Ethernet cable
Hi there New install - I am trying to access the internet via ethernet cable only - currently the cable is on Lan1. I also want to be able to turn off wifi completely. I have the T3200M. Not ...
Thanks so much for everyone's help - it is much appreciated.
For future reference - what ended up needing to be done was just to go into Network and recreate a Location - deleting the previously existing one which it was defaulting to. As soon as a new one was created it connected automatically - as it should.
Also yes I did go into the gateway platform and disabled - Wireless radio - as well.
Such a simple thing - simple fix - annoyingly so.
I'm suspecting a bad Ethernet cable. You only have 1? Can you borrow one from a neighbor just to test with?
Nope not the cable just hooked it up to an 8 year old computer that hasn't been used in about that length of time as well lol went directly online - no problems at all. It would seem that it has more to do with how the T3200 is configured for wifi - not ethernet.
So next question - how to configure the gateway so that it is set up for ethernet.
I have been trying the manual but it is not giving (as I could yet find) as how the settings are suppose to look for a wired connection....
