put the modem in bridge mode and then connect a DSL/cable router to it...you'll have to configure the PPOE if its DSL... Cable is a little easier because there usually is a MAC authientication not username and password...plug dsl/cable router into cable modem...turn both off for about aminute then turn modem on first then router... Be careful most routers with wireless have it enable with no security by default...turn it off or set securty (wirelss that is)

From the modems open port you connect one Cat5 network cable into the port (in back) of the Belkin N Wireless router.
For wireless internet connection to begin you must also do a wireless set-up on the software side of the Belkin router or through their web interface.

The ethernet light should not blink at all. The first thing to try is a new ethernet cable. If the problem still persists, then you need to check with your internet provider.

Ethernet and DSL lights are indicating you have ADSL available on your line, and that you have computers connected to the router.
What has probably happened is that Optus did not set up the new router with your username and password. Go to thw following website for details on how to setup the modem.
