Hi and welcome to the WTT forum Sorry to hear you are having trouble with your router. 1 Make sure that you have a good connection between your router and your computer's network port using a cat 5 (patch) cable. Can you now see your Network connection (Start>Control Panel>Network Connections? if so copy down and include all the details in your reply.Next 2 Click on Start 3 Right Click on My Computer 4 Click on Properties 5 Click on Hardware 6 Click on Device Manager 7 Scroll down to "Network Adapters" click on the + sign to its left and tell me if there is a yellow or Red flag against the entry, Then copy down the name of your your Network adapter and post it back here in this thread and I will advise the next step. When you post back please also give me the exact make and model number of your Modem and router. regards paws
