I had to disconnect everything when my hard drive crashed. Now I'm not sure how to hook it back up. My computer recognizes the modem, but not the router.
I dont know how you hooked it backup,but router plugs into the modem and computer into the router.these devices are plug and play
Look here how you do that:

I am going to attempt to give you a solution here. But you must understand a few things before I begin.
First, I would like to clarify that if you have Time Warner internet service, you are on Cable Internet. Not DSL. (This makes a world of difference when it comes to using a router.)
Secondly, you did not specify model numbers of your devices. Therefore I am assuming that you are using the following devices:
If this is not the correct equipment, continue to follow the instructions but be dynamic and adapt my instructions to the equipment you have. It should be similar enough that you shouldn't have any problem easily doing this.
This instruction set is going to begin from a point that is assuming that we're installing all of this equipment from the standpoint of a completely new installation. From the ground up.
Let's begin.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNPLUG AND POWER DOWN ALL OF YOUR EQUIPMENT INCLUDING THE CABLE MODEM, ROUTER, PC AND VONAGE BOX. Do not power on any of the devices until instructed to do so.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) Connect your cable modem to the cable from the wall.
2.) Find the ethernet port on your cable modem. Connect the blue ethernet (CAT5) cable to the ethernet port.
3.) Plug the other end of the blue ethernet cable into the "Internet" port of the router. (Older routers used to also call this a "WAN" port.) It is the only port that is seperated from the rest of them.
4.) Connect another ethernet cable to port 1 of the router.
5.) Connect the other end of the ethernet cable to the network port of your PC.
6.) Connect yet another ethernet cable to port 2 of the router.
7.) Connect the other end of this ethernet cable to the ethernet port of the Vonage box.
8.) Plug in the power adapter of the cable modem. Wait 1 minute for the cable modem to acquire it's signal and set up the connection to Time Warner.
9.) Plug in the power adapter of the Linksys router. It should only take 15-20 seconds to set itself up. (If you have made any configurations to the router prior to this, I recommend pressing and holding the RESET button for at least 10 seconds to give you a fresh configuration state to start with.)
10.) Plug in the power adapter to the Linksys PAP2 VOIP Phone Adapter.
11.) Power on your PC. You should have an internet connection with it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You see... As I read the configuration you described, I don't think that you're using a PAP2 phone adapter. You said that you connected the "vonage device" to both your modem and your PC. This is not possible with the PAP2 adapter as it only has ONE ethernet port.
I am led to believe that you are actually using the Linksys WRTP54G which is essentially the same thing as the WRT54G, but with Vonage support built-in.
If that is the case, then you will not need to use the WRT54G router. Instead, follow the instructions that I gave you assuming that the router and the phone device are combined into one device. (The ports will still be labeled the same.)
Download the installation guide for the WRTP54G from the product page link I just gave you. You'll find the link to the User Guide on the right-side panel. This will make everything clearer for you if you do indeed have that router instead of the PAP2 phone adapter.
If you continue to be confused, please let me know. DO NOT just give me a poor rating without asking more questions. I am here to help you solve your issue. Not have my rating decreased just because someone is too confused or lazy to ask more questions.
I'm happy to help you. :)
Good luck and let me know what the outcome is. (And please be sure to list your exact model numbers in the future!)

was the router used by previous users? or did you buy it? if it was used then it was probably configured for different ISP. You don't need any CD. Just connect to the router via your browser (probably http://192.168.1.1) and adjust settings in WAN section.
SOURCE: I have a cable connection to the internet and when I hook up the
1. Disconnect the cable from your cable modem and connect it to one of the four on the back of the wireless router.
2 Connect a cable from the back of the cable modem to the LAN port on the wireless router.
3. disconnect the power on the cable modem for about 30 seconds.
4. reconnect the power to the cable modem and wait until the unit boots completely.
all but the activity light should be on.
5 power up the router and wait a few moments.
You should now have access on your computer that you have connected to the router. verify this by going to a web page.
6. on the laptop, open the control panel and then the network connections control panel (this assumes we are working with windows).
7. Highlight the wireless adapter by clicking on it once.
8. To the right of the icon will be a list of links. (assuming windows XP). click the one that says "view available wireless networks". Your router should be in the list. If so, highlight it and click connect at the bottom of the window.
Did this resolve your issue?

ok once your internet is resolved you shouldnt need to have any computer hard wired to the router but it should go like this cable from your wall to the modem, then cable from modem to the router, after that you can go wireless all the way just make sure that its all secure and encrypted dont want the next door neighbor stealin your internet
