wifi at home with netgear
With sify broadband connection at home, I wanted to set up wifi at home with netgear wgr614v7 wireless router.
It took me almost 10 hours in continuous sitting to get it working. It was not until late 3 in the morning that I found out that you need sify’s support to have wifi.
If you are one of them with sify’s broadband connection and netgear router, here’s how you can go about it. The wizard of the netgear is not kind enough to make your job easier. So I took to the pencil and drawn some sketches. Hope it helps to save few hours.
Leave a message for any query and I will help troubleshoot your set up problems. ( Click on the picture for enlarged image)

if you dont setup you wireless properly , people who have wireless laptop can diescover your connection and connect to your network and use it.Always protect your wireless with secure key .I used to do that when was in US , some lame Non techy guy left his connect with out any protection , i used to connect to hsi network and access internet through his network

Is your router DHCP enabled ?! If you get to Configure screens of wifi router(which is generally accessible at http://192.168.1.1), If am not wrong, in Lan settings page, you can configure this. Send me an email.
