Hey there, My question is, when I have logged off and then turned off my computer, and the pc shutsdown, should my dsl wireless motem still have green lights lit for Internet, ethernet, etc.

If your new modem has a wireless aerial then it has a built-in wireless router. If not then you need to plug your new modem into the wireless router.

This is only a problem with the firmware of your modem/router that you need to update it, because a network device like a modem and router that is working fine for severla years and suddenly stop working you just need to update the firmware of it and it should be working fine again, to update the firmware of the modem/router just need to call the manufacturer for that....

Hope that helps.........

Connect your computer to one of the ports at the back of your router with a DSL cable.

Open a web browser and type "http://192.168.1.1/" in the address bar. This will bring up your administration page for your router.

Log in by leaving the username blank and use "Admin" for the password. These are the username and password you use if you haven't already set something up previously.

Click on the "Wireless" tab at the top of the screen, and then on the"Wireless Security" tab.

To figure out what problem is, download and install Router Commander Freeware software. Using this program you can view system log messages from router and when problem happens, this log is very helpful.

What kind of computer and wireless card do u have?
Also, did u install the drivers for it? There is a lot of
things that could be wrong, but let's start with
computer make / model #, and if it already had built
in wifi or u added a card.

Try to power cycle the modem and check if all the lights are on. If you can the ligths on the DSL are solid try to get the IP adress if your not getting any Valid ip address contact your ISP

you first need to by a wireless router and connect it to your motem, then unplug the motem for 10 sec, plug it back in nd let it speak to your router when it all lights up its done and you can install the software

make sure you down loaded the router into your computer right cause i had the same problem, i had to plug in my router to the motem then pull the power plug out of my motem for 10 sec plug it back in and the motem will talk to the router then install your software again this should work

If you are using DSL as your internet connection there is a timeout period that could be setup in the linksys.

In order to change this you need to log into your router and on check on the setup page. You see the timeout option.

Check with your linksys manual for detailed instructions for logging into the unit. If you dont have it, you can always get it from their website.

try to reset first the modem before checking the cable maybe your modem need to be reset... if not work... try to unplug for a minute then plug it again... then try to use your internet..
