problem with a new router
 

A friend who works for telus gave me a brand new telus modem/router. The thing is i'm using shaw but he told me, use it as a router and it would work.

So i try and everything seem to be working. Wireless work for my phone, utorrent is downloading with good speed but here's the problem my browser doesnt work. I try IE, firefox and chrome and none of them can connect.

Restart the shaw modem, the new router and the computer and still doesnt work. whats next?

Telus hardware is garbage. I'd sooner shell out $20 for a previous generation, flashable Linksys than go with Telus' choice of router. Anyways, how do you have it hooked up? Are you using the WAN port?

yes

Save yourself the trouble and go buy a cheap wireless router

I agree. Just buy an actual standalone router. Just cause its free doesn't mean its better.

Maybe a DNS resolution problem.

Try pinging www.google.ca. What do you get?

Happening while using utorrent? If so, utorrent is taking up all the bandwidth.

I had the utorrent closed and i try pinging it to google.ca but it's the same as before DNS problem..

Open a command prompt, type "ipconfig /all" - copy and paste the results here

i gave up and return the modem to my friend. i'll go out and buy a router.
