Routers job are to interpret outside world into your own world.

Linksys Wizard will guide you step by step on how to figure out who is connected to what and where.

At the back of the Linksys Router, there is a small white button if not black, in order for any end-user to reset it back to Factory Default. The purpose of Factory Default is to give you a chance to start from scratch!!!

Press that button for the next 30 seconds while unplugging its power cord. After such time, you will need to plug the power cord back on and your will be ale to Re-run your Wizard to confogure your router.

By the way, Linksys routers comes with a CD in order for you to make your life easy. Have that CD ready and install in your local computer.

I hope this helps. I can't give you play by play instructions on the wizard because I don't have one.

The modem looks like a cable modem from what I have found. You should press the small reset button on the back of the router for about 3 seconds and it should go back to factory settings. Connect the router to the modem and unplug power to the modem, then power it back on and the modem should recognize the router. If this works make sure to login to the router and set passwords and security to something other then the defaults. The Linksys routers usually are addressed at 192.168.1.1 with a default username blank and password of admin. Good Luck

Can't access internet, says I am connected but then says no internet connection

I think you should try to reset and reconfigure the Linksys router and see if that works.

If your Linksys router is old then you can also upgrade firmware on the router.

Connect your computer directly to the modem and make sure that you can access Internet directly through the modem.

Connect the modem and computer to the router. Open the setup page of the router and change the settings manually.

Try this website to setup your Linksys router manually.

I can also suggest you a Fiverr Gig where you can pay only $5 and get support for your Linksys router.

No internet through router

you should refer to your ISP or to the Router manufacturer on how to access the GUI of the router. problem could be both devices are using same IP. there is a collission issue there. you should change the gateway IP to one of your devices.

Cannot connect thru linksys router to internet. I can connect with direct cable but when connected to linksys does not connect.

Make sure that your computer is able to go online directly through the modem.
If your computer is able to go online through the modem, that means the modem is working fine.

I just switched from cable modem to dsl modem..dsl modem gets on the internet when connected directly to computer..once connected to router doesnt connect to internet

Your new ISP is DSL. the router was working before with the cable modem. The settings for the cable and DSL ISP are different. Now your computer is working when you connect it directly to the DSL modem. that means the modem is working.
The DSL modem works on 2 different modes.
You will need to check which mode is your modem working on and according to the settings of your modem you will need to set up the router.
To change the settings of the router, you will need to open the set up page of the router.

I went from a ATT dsl modem to a net gear modem and i cannot get the net ger mode and linksys mode to talk to the computer

Most DSL providers use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) to establish Internet connections for end-users. To set up a Linksys router, you need to enable PPPoE on the router’s web-based setup page.
To setup a Linksys router with a DSL connection you need to perform four steps:
  1. Verifying Internet Connection
  2. Connecting the Devices Together
  3. Checking the LEDs
  4. Setting-up a DSL ISP on a Linksys Router
Verifying Internet Connection
Connect the Broadband modem to the computer using an Ethernet cable without the router installed and make sure that the Internet connection is active. If not, contact your Internet Service Provider.

I have mediacom cable, phone, and internet service. The internet works when I am directly connected to the modem provided by mediacom but I can't get linksys to work.

You need to call your internet serie and give them the Routing Number specific to your Linksys modem. Let me know if this helps.
