We were previously with Century Link for internet, we recently switched to Time Warner for internet, they shipped us the Motorola Surfboard SBG6580 set it up and all using the quick connect and wireless is working fine. The problem is that, we had switched so we could Hard Wire my computer to the modem, which we couldn't previously with the previous router, but something I found is that when showing 2 active networks, the wireless is labeled SBG6580_212 while the Local Area Connection is SBG658031 and is different, could this be a problem or is it something else?

Don't worry about it -- the wireless name is the SSID that can be changed in the router configuration pages. It is not a problem that the names differ and will not affect performance of either. When you have an Ethernet cable connection that will almost always by default have the higher priority and will be used instead of the wireless.

Alright, but the Ethernet cable is plugged in and it lights up, but it shows that it gives internet connection however, my Skype has Internet and i'm able to make calls, and message people, but if I say try to load a webpage it does absolutely nothing, it doesn't load it.
