The router will not connect to the web and may need to be reset or something. I was able to get the modem to connect directly to the computer which is how this email is being accomplished
Connecting the router you must first bridge the modem. For as to do that you must first identify the modem of your modem. Example if its SpeedStream 4100/4100b/5100b bridging the modem will be doing the ffg steps: launch IE then on address bar type in 192.168.0.1 then your prompted to the modem's page. Click on the advance tab then select PPP location then Bridge modem then click save changes. After which you may add now the router to the setup - blue cable connected to WAN port of the router and to the blue port on the back of your modem. Then ensuring that we have good physical connection - we then access the routers page. Or we are now in routers authentication --- it also depends on model or type of our router (LINKSYS, D-LINK, NETGEAR). For me to continue this please reply me the type of router you are using.
This is done by simply holding down the reset button located on the back of the unit for at least 30 seconds. Once the router has been reset, it must be reconfigured. Using your web browser go to URL address http://192.168.1.1. You will then be prompted to login to your router. A log-in screen asking for the password will automatically appear. At this time enter the default password "admin", in lower case letters into the password field. The username field may be left blank at this time. (Note: both the default username and default password are set to "admin" on some of the newer Linksys router models).
