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..

Thanks so much for your reply. I will try this. Maybe I need a little more patience with this. I will work on it again my next day off. So I have to connect all computers to the router? My second computer does not have any internet access at all but I do have internet explorer on it so will I have to do everything I did on this computer on that one too? Also This computer hooks up to the modem by usb or ethernet. Right now I have it usb while the router is not hooked up. Do I change to the ethernet take out the usb to get connected to the router? My router does not have usb port.

Also the desktop I got this router for has windows 98 right now that wont effect the router in anyway will it?

The ip address in the past I have not been able to get to on this computer at all ... Is there something I should do ??

Thanks in advance

Ok I tried to hook everything but having one problem.. My modem is set up by usb cable it has the option whether to use usb or ethernet. When I took the usb out and put in the etehrnet there was no internet connetion at all when I go into network settings to see the connection nothing is there... How do I get the ineternet working through ethernet?
