OK, funny story.
I set up the router, and left it for about 15 minutes while I went out.
Came back in and managed to access the router status page, which I couldnt do before for some strange reason.
The router had a reboot option, which I hadnt tried before, so I thought what the *censored*, it cant make it any worse.
Lo and behold, the router is now fully working, and found ALL the neccessary settings ITSELF.
I just opted for google, and it worked, and its still up and running as I write this post!
I think ill put it down to one of lifes great mysteries, like what women are thinking!!
Thankyou VERY MUCH for all your assistance and support, the router would have been stomped long before now if I hadnt had a resource like this to call upon.
Sorry I posed such an awkward question!
