I recently bought a Tenda W548D ADSL wireless router/modem but can't get it to automatically connect to the internet (so that when I connect my laptop to it using wireless, my laptop is connected to the internet too)?

Update: the device shows up on the Wireless connections but I need to connect to the wireless network first, then connect to the internet manually using the wirelessLAN.

Operating system is Windows Vista.

You may need to register the equipment with your ISP. Specifically the model number and the MAC Address.

I've already installed a wired router before without registering anything with the ISP so that probably isn't the problem here. – infoquad Jan 28 '11 at 18:50
What ISPs have you been using? – Ciaran Jan 28 '11 at 20:19
@Ciaran- Nepal Telecom(ntc.com.np) and here's the link to the ADSL tech-support page- ntc.com.np/internet/adsl/adsl_cpeConf.php; I'll post screenshots if you ask for them – infoquad Jan 30 '11 at 3:57
It's working now. I went through the quick setup again and it worked :D. Thanks!!! – infoquad Jan 30 '11 at 4:38
