Seimens Gigaset SE587 4 port Wireless Router - Does it work?
Hello. The above router is supplied by Tiscali in the UK for those who want to have access by wire, such as myself with an eMac, and a wireless connection when using laptops.
I've tried everything to get it to work including the setup instructions provided by Tiscali.
The instruction manual of which has references to Mackintosh and implies it will work.
The set up disc sent by Tiscali does not run on Apples. Hoever Tiscali support have sent me the following in order to set the router up. I have followed all this and the router still won't connect -
