Why cant i connect to the internet with my linksys router?

I have tried almost everything and I am still not able to connect to the internet with my router. I connected it to my cable modem and plugged in the ethernet cord from the modem into the router and i tried setting up the configuration but i still have not been able to get on the internet with it. I have a linksys router WRT54G and any help on how to get on the internet would be greatly appreciated.|||Try using this config for your WRT54G,

Before you start you will need some important information!!!





If you are already connected, go to the command line

You should see something like this:

Write these down or save them someplace for future reference.





If you don't see anything like this you will need to get from


your ISP.





After you have all this information and have all your hardware


connected similar to the basic diagram above you will need to


configure your Router.





Open broswer like Internet Explorer, Firefox or some such.





In the Address box type:





http://192.168.1.1





If you get prompted for a Username and Password type these,





ADMIN/ADMIN





We will change these later.





You should be take to the Setup window for the router. Use


all of the recommended settings below. They will help you


configure your router for safe wireless use and wired use in


your home.





Whereever you see something in angle brackets %26lt;...%26gt; you must


supply. When you create a new password use both upper/lower


case letters and numbers. Write it down, memorize it, eat the


paper you wrote it on and never share with anyone. Just kidding


but you should not take this lightly. Anyone who know this


information could make it so they could hijack your Internet


connection. This could have sever legal consequences or imbaracing


at the least.

You can always email if you have questions.|||Try recycling your router by unplugging it for about a minute then plug it back. Do that to your modem too.|||I had the same problem and I took it back and got a netgear. It worked immediately.|||I have DSL, but Broadband should be very similar.





I have all Linksys equipment (I have for over 15 years now)





All you should have to do is select PPPoE


Enter your ID and password





You want to have the DHCP enabled.





You will want to change the Admin ID and password so that somebody can't get into it from the Internet and change your settings on you.
