The problem is (I think at this stage, having exhausted every alternative I can think of) that the driver for the modem ADSL router is NOT a Windows 7 driver. The driver supplied with the installation disc is for XP, Vista 32 and 64 bit. I have gone to the TP Link website to try to download the correct driver but this Win 7 driver for Win 7 32 bit (downloaded from TP Link website) is NOT setting up and configuring the modem. I really need an expert at internet connections to come out and set up a connection.
Unable to contact the 'computer-man' who we used to use.
