Hey guys, I recently moved to a new home and I'm trying to set up my router to the new internet connection and get the wifi going but for the life of me I cant get it set up. The internet connection itself is fine, from modem to pc.

Once I have the modem in the mix,it gets no/limited connectivity and cannot reach the setups. I have tried the classic 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.1.1 and about 5 other variations, along with 'http://router'. My router is a Belkin N300 Wireless N Router.

If I use a command prompt and do 'ipconfig', there is no ip address beside 'gateway default' once the router is connected. I have reset my router to factory settings. I've tried using a static ip address for my computer [though not sure if i did it correctly]. My DHCP is enabled.

I've been at it for several hours and I'm sorta at my wit's end. Please help!:)

Try unplugging modem, both the power and connection to wall (coax cable).
Unplug router power (you may want to do a factory reset before you do this though)
Wait 2 minutes.
Plug power into modem then reconnect coax cable.
Wait 2 minutes.
Plug power to router.

Now whatever you plug into the router or connect to wirelessly should have an internet connection, provided your router is back to factory default.

I have experienced this issue before where the modem remembers the last device connected to it and will only allow that device to use the internet. By doing the above you are resetting it so to speak and it will now see your router as the last device connected.
