Ok, coax cable from the wall to the cable modem. Ethernet cable from the modem (that you currently have plugged into your work laptop.) now goes into the wireless router (there`s probably a specific port for this). Extra ethernet cable goes from your router to your work laptop.
This should get you on, just as before. Now you should be able to call up your router`s admin page on your browser by typing its ip address into your browser. At this point we probably need to know what type of router it is.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It is Netgear.

Okay, here's the relevant link.
With your setup in the configuration I mentioned, and everything powered up and going, open up a browser and type 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 into the address box. That should bring up a login box, into which you can type "admin" and "password" which should let you configure your router.
At that point you should be able to try one of your devices that is going wirelessly.

Netgear may also support going to "http://www.routerlogin.net". At least it does for me.

You guys rock! I shall try this out this evening after I finish working. With luck I won't come back in here whimpering for more help.
Is there a patron saint/god of technology?

You can totally whimper. These things are sometimes stubborn. But I've set up a ton of them, and your config is not unusual. You should be able to get it working for you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
St. Theresa's the patron saint of TV, isn't she? Is she the one that had visions?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I received a new Roku and I need to tell you about one of the features that I find really great:
you can put audio/video/photos/music (of specific formats) on a USB drive and connect it to the roku and the roku WILL PLAY IT.
So I converted some video to mp4 and put it on a usb stick and connected it to the roku and the video showed on my tv perfectly. I do not have an HD tv, but I understand it should work the same.
This is such an affordable way to consume media that I can hardly believe it.

Okay, so I have a new smartphone (T-Mobile 4G Mytouch, it's an Android phone), and it has a browser but I can't tell what it is.
What's the best way to read the board here? Do we have a mobile page? Or did I imagine that?
