Hi,
I have a good internet connection that works with PPPoE when connected by ethernet to my laptop. I cannot get my Airport Extreme Base station to work.

My internet connection was set up yesterday. It's great fun trying to talk tech when you can't speak Chinese:)

I got the laptop set up. I have some kind of internet interface device the telephone company provided. I have a user name and password. I set it up so I can use the internet when I connect with ethernet to the port on the interface device (there are several but I'm not sure what it is) but when I try to set up my Airport E. Base station I can't get it to work. I've tried using the same settings (PPPoE) but it doesn't register.

I'm in Kunming, China and haven't found any English speaking techies here yet. The internet is fast and good, just can't get my wifi up.

Anyone? Can you help? Please!

Thanks
 
you need to reboot the router when you change the device plugged into it.
