How do I make my Linksys Router work?

We just moved from Time Warner Cable DSL to ATT phone line based DSL, and all is working great with our hard wired computers, but our Linksys has stopped sending a signal to our laptops. We have the ATT modem, and a leviton router. Coming off the leviton is the Linksys WRT310N. How do we fix this?|||If you have 4 or less hardwired computers then it's simple. Take the leviton out of the equation and just go directly from the modem to the linksys router. It has access for 4 ethernet connections and can handle the wireless connection too. Once you've got that set up, make sure that all the information that you HAD stored on the Linksys for your wireless connection is still there. Just open your browser on one of the wired computers and in the address bar type in 192.168.1.1 and it should take you right to the linksys start-up page. Make sure that everything is configured the way it should be there and make sure that you don't have your wireless connection left to the default name of "Linksys" otherwise you may be trying to actually connect into somebody else that lives nearby that has a wireless signal too.|||check www.portforward.com








It may help.|||Stop asking I DONT KNOW|||It is not recommended to have two behind each other due NAT. Remove the Leviton router and connect the the Linksys direct to the ATT modem. Power both the modem and the Linksys off, then power on the ATT modem first let it boot up, then the Linksys and should recieve an IP address. login to the linksys usually the ip for the linksys is 192.168.1.1 check status to see if you have ab IP from ATT as well as subnet gateway and dns servers.|||Go to 192.168.1.1 in browser and choose "Wireless" across the top menu. Make sure in the first drop down box "Network Mode", Disabled is not picked. Only way I know that the wireless would not work unless the router is faulty.
