I have been trying to add netgear RP614 router to my home DSL conncection (working fine for years) to share more PCs. After careful hookup and troubleshooting I verify an internet feed to the 614 (working light) when hooked to the ADSL "modem", and verify a working connection from the PC to the 614, but no live internet connection and no apparent DNS service.
As I reviewed all the equipment, it seems my cable "modem" a Cisco 675 is more than a modem, it is also a router, altlhough with only one port out. Will this setup (2 routers in line) work? Maybe I just need a hub or a switch...
I also think I need some specific instructions from my ISP to reset the cisco to work with multiple rather than just one PC, but before I do that - can I use the netgear I bought, or do i need a switch instead?
Thanks for any insights
