Is it possible to set up NETGEAR wireless router without a modem?

In you first post, you say you have cable internet, that would imply that you have an internet service provider, and you plug a cable into your laptop to get online...that cable would connect to a cable modem, dsl modem or router attached to one of those...some modems are wireless capable, others have to be connected to a wireless router...does your laptop wireless show any available networks?

Now that's the problem. That modem is is like a huge metal box hanging inside the apartment's wall. From there, the cable comes all the way to my apartment chamber. So will that cause any trouble?

Hi,

Are you saying that you're computer is connected via phone line instead of ethernet?

Nope directly the ethernet cable, I don't have the phone line.

to go that site (192.168.1.1) do I need to connect my wireless router WITH the ethernet cable in it or WITHOUT the ethernet cable? Also this wireless was set up before at my family's house.

Since I have that ethernet cable, which port do I plug ii in? The internet part or LAN ports?

alrighty I am trying now

Solved the issue. I chose No in the "Does Your Internet Connection Require A Login?". I manually login to the internet service when I open the wireless. Also I used the ipconfig in cmd to see my connection's address and properties and put them during the setup.
