I have a Netgear MR814v2 and Verizon DSL. The router works great with computers hooked up physically with ethernet cables but will not work wirelessly.

Three different laptops each with Airport cards get four bar signal from the router, but it will not connect any of them to the internet. All three laptops will connect fine if they connect to the router with a cable and all three can connect to the internet wirelessly through other base stations.

I think the problem rests between the wireless capabilities of the Netgear and Verizon DSL (perhaps the PPPoE method of connection). Anybody else have experience with this or have ideas how to get our router to wirelessly serve our DSL?

Try resetting the Netgear to factory defaults or make sure that no security features are enabled.
If you are connected with wires, you will be able to connect wirelessly.

I've reset the router to factory defaults, logged into the router and put in my PPPoE login and password and for whatever reason it still doesn't serve internet wirelessly.
