Ok I have no luck with routers.. I just bought I used router that is working great compared to my last one that I had except that I cannot get it installed ... all the lights are working on it.. I have ethernet cords hooked up..as I dont have what I need to have a wireless connection yet.. Even the internet light is working... so I tried to hook it up with the install cd and for some reason as I get closer to the end of getting it installed a box comes up and says this setup wizard has to close.. so then I cannot finish it... Then I get referred to the linksys website to download something that would install it for me.. welll I go there do everything it tells me to.. all lights and veerything are working on the router even internet light.. then it tells me it cannot detect a linksys router.. BUT EVERYTHING IS HOOKED UP.. I also tried installing it manually ip address not working.. and did not succeed on that either.. Can anyone help? If so please help me step by step.. in some way.. I am not good with computers... at all ... Nothing seems to be working.. cant understand why the setup on linksys.com wouldnt detect the router everything is working fine on it.. thanks in advance..

Ok, I'll do my best. First, uninstall any software that you installed for this...you don't need it, and often it doesn't work. Next, power down the router and modem, then disconnect router cable from modem.
Power on modem, and if possible, press its' reset button if it has one (Might have to search for it...it could be a little hole that you stick a pen point into etc). Make sure once this is done that the usual connection light come on etc. Power it off again.

Now, use ONE computer as the main router admin link...connect the PC to the router, and the router to the modem, making sure you connect the cable from the modem to the WAN port on the router. Then power on in THIS order...the modem first, wait until all lights are on, then power on the router, press its' reset button, and wait until it lights up normally (you wont get an 'internet' light tho..not configured yet), THEN power on the PC.
Now, open a web browser, and in the address bar, type 192.168.1.1 and you should get the router set-up window asking for the login and pass. Leave the users field empty, and the password is admin (lowercase), and then click ok. You should now be on the setup page.

Now fill in the required details as needed, including the host name/domain name (especially for cable ISP's).

Now, to be honest, you can follow the guidelines in the manual. If you don't have it, you can get it from HERE. Just select the model, and follow instructions. If you sill have problems, come back and ask us.
