Cant connect to internet with emachine through lynksys router.

go to Lynksys Support and Services

Pretty sure you need to just open ports. You can do that @ Port forward.com

Sometimes, the order in which u do things makes all the diffference.

1. shut down all machines
2. unplug modem and router
3. plug in just modem and wait for lights
4. plug in router and wait for all lights
5. restart computers

* if your still having an issue and your connection says local connection only then you need to reset the modem and router and then follow the above steps again.

upgrade the router to the latest version of firmware and reconfigure the same.

Also remove the existing saved connections from ur computer and then readd the new connections after reconfiguration of the router.

PERHAPS DYNEX,AND LINSKYS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE,I WOULD GO FOR LINSKYS ANY DAY SO EASY TO CONNECT,TRY USING A WIRELESS ROUTER,INSTALL SOFTWARFE 1ST,NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH LINSKYS

yes you can use it.

first connect your Belkin router to computer with lan cable .
Then access it wityh this link.
http://192.168.15.1

user name as "admin" and password as "admin"or
blank or
"password"

then configure your router as your old lynksys settings.then save settings and restart .

I suggest checking the documentation of your linksys router in the linksys site. Get the manual and that would tell you how to set it up. Regarding the router being broken, it is possible. Are you wired or wireless to the router?

This sounds like a problem with your DSL modem, not the router. Try unplugging both devices and wait about 10 seconds. Plug in the modem first and wait about 30 seconds (at this point the Internet light should be on). Now plug in the router and wait another 30 seconds. This problem is normally due to the modem not getting sync. I would try plugging your laptop directly into modem if this doesn't work to see if you then have Internet. If not call your ISP.

I had the same problem when I switched to comcast from sbc you need to power down your modem and either press the reset button or remove the backup battery if it has one for about 30 seconds. power down your router as well. Connect everything back the way you want it and your modem will lock onto your router. You see, once the modem locks on you cannot simply plug it in to another component without restting it to open roam. Hope this helps.

Try changing the channel on the router. It would be better to isolate the problem first by trying to connect to other wireless networks on your laptop or having someone's laptop connect to your home wireless network.
