Linksys ac1200 is cutting my internet speed down

Power-off & power-on the router, to reset it.
Otherwise, the router is capable of 1 Gigabit (1000 Megabit) throughput, so it should _not_ be the "bottleneck" (unless you are paying your Internet Service Provider for speeds faster than that!!!)

Router not seeing internet connection

If you are on cable internet, you need to perform MAC Address Cloning. Access the router's setup page using your main PC, under SETUP tab, there's a sub-tab called MAC Address Clone. Enable that and click on "Clone My PC's MAC" then click on Save Settings. Power cycle the router and the modem. You should be online after that.

No Active Internet Connection

If you want to use the wireless portion of your router, you would need a wireless adapter installed on your desktop. If you are getting internet on your desktop then this means that your wired connection is fine to the router is fine. The WMP54G adapter will work with your router, however if you are not planning on connecting to the internet wirelessly through the router then there is no need to purchase the adapter. Hope that this helps you out.
