Can't go online from Main Compter after Installation

If you are looking for any firmware drivers for the Linksys WRT160N Wireless Router you can find them on this page link: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/LATAM/en/support/WRT160N
However, I am not sure you need drivers for the router if you want to hook it up to your cable modem. If you have the installation CD you can easily follow the instructions for installing a new router and you should get through with the installation in a matter of minutes.
I hope you get everything up and running soon. Thanks for choosing FixYa.com!!

Router set up is very easy. You will need to access the router set up interface to make changes on the router.

If you are not able to go online using the router then you will need to check the settings of the router.
First make sure that your computer is able to go online when connected directly to the modem without the router.
If your computer is able to go online through the modem only then your modem is working properly, we will need to check the settings of the router.ind network key.


Router set up for Cable Internet service provider :

This connection type uses the MAC address of the main computer to identify your connection. They generally register the MAC address of the main computer. So the MAC address is everything in this connection type. Now we set up router using the MAC address of the main computer. Main computer is the computer which was able to go online through the modem. Use only the main computer to set uo the router.
Connect the modem and the computer to the router . Check the IP address on the computer.
According to the Default gateway value open the set up interface of the router. Once you open the set up interface, you will need to clone the MAC address of the computer. Then change the wireless settings on the router and your router is ready to go.

Router set up for DSL Internet service provider.

What is DSL connection?
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a high-speed Internet service that competes with cable Internet to provide online access to local customers. DSL operates over standard copper telephone lines like dial-up service, but is many times faster than dial-up. In addition to being faster than dial-up, DSL does not tie up the phone line. Coexisting with telephone service in this way allows users to surf the Net and use the phone at the same time.

There are two types of DSL connection

1 ) PPPOE : In this connection type you will get user name and password from the Internet service provider. Your computer will not be able to go online when connected to the modem only. You can open the router set up and change the Internet connection type to pppoe and type the user name and password for the ISP. After that change the wireless settings of the router and it will be ready to go.
2) DHCP : In this connection type your computer will be able to go online when you connect it directly to the modem.
you don't require the user anme and password for the ISP.
In this connection your computer will get a private IP address from the router. According to this the IP address of your router will change. Change the wireless settings of the router and it will be ready to go online.

Are you trying to set up the router.
To set up the router you don't need the set up CD.
You can do it manually also.

All major mfr.s I know of, provide the contents of that original installation CD on line for downloading.

Now you´re not writing wich model it is, but try to go to the Belkins homepage here and write the model number in the search field, maybe you can find all the software there.

Belkins homepage : http://www.belkin.com/uk/

Hope you can find the drivers there

you may need to reset router to factory settings. look in documents or their website for instructions that apply to your router.
Also, I assume you have everything powered off when switching cables.
