I have a Linksys WRT54G router in my dorm because my roommate & I want wireless internet. (You have to hardwire yourself in to get internet). People have set up wireless before in the dorms. I asked a friend and he said I didn't need a modem because the whole building was already on a modem type thing...he said it might be like T1/T2 instead of DSL. So, we plugged in the router and it lit up. Then, we put the ethernet cord into it and waited to see what happened on our laptops. We got an excellent signal, but are still not able to connect to the internet. Plus, when I plugged it in, I was not prompted to set it up...it just found it. I got this router from someone so it didn't come with any software...does it have software and does it need it to set up correctly?
Also, we aren't supposed to have routers in our dorms, so they say, but no one seems to care.
