Hello,
I've bought this router about seven months ago. I tried setting it up right when i got it but it didn't work. I ran out of time during my break and am now getting around to trying again. I've tried numerous resets and reboots, messed with most of the settings individually, but I never can connect to the internet through the router. The internet works with my old linksys router and directly connected to the computer, just not when connected to the router. I've tried calling up my internet provider, and the tech guy couldn't figure out what was wrong either. He told us we probably got a bad router (which wouldn't surprise now that I've read a bunch of reviews in which many others complained about the router dying early.) I'm going to keep trying until there is nothing else to do, but i really need help now as I have no idea what to try now. We have a DSL connection, and the MAC address of this computer is cloned into the router if that makes a difference.
