From the run bar type in 192.168.1.1 which should access the wireless
routers configuration screen. You did not say if you connect via cable modem
or via DSL. If DSL you will need to change the IP configuration to
192.168.1.2 since the DSL modem uses the same IP address as the router.
However many times it is a simple fix as to check the box that states to
obtain an IP address automatically, or to have the DHCP set to auto
configure.

The other problem you may be having is a driver conflict. Go into Device
manager and see if there are any Yellow or Red exclamation marks. If so the
error will tell you more of what is going on. A simple reinstall of the
routers drivers will fix that problem.

Oh the login for the basic routers is (Login) admin-admin(password)

Write back and let me know how you made out.

I hope I helped?
