The ethernet cable from your dsl modem should be connected to the ethernet port of the router...if you have been given an username and password then the router should be pppoe compatible and the username & password is to configured in the router...if a private static is given by your ISP then configure that ip on the router and enable natting...

You're going to need a router with a built-in switch. You'll plug the line that runs from the DSL modem to your computer right now into the Input port on the router, and then connect both computers to the router. There are TONS of routers out there - both wireless and not. I highly recommend the Linksys WRT54GL - it seems a tad pricey but its very well-made and worth it.

Take the yellow cable you got from SBS.  Plug it into the port that is by itself on one end of the router.  Take the other end and plug it into the modem.  Take the blue cable you got from Linksys and put it in one of the four open ports on the other side of the router.  Plug the other end of the blue cable to the network port in the back of your computer.  Run setup wizard from linksys.  You should be able to run 3 more wired computers and as many wireless as you want.

First, you need to have administrator access to your router.  Assuming that you do, you will have to refer to the manufacturer's manual (or website) for the specifics of the rest.\n\nLog into your router.  Most modern routers for home use allow this through your web browser.  The address will be listed in your manual.  If you (or the person who connected the router in the first place) have not changed the username and password, those should also be listed in the manual.\n\nOnce you have logged in, there will be settings somewhere for "Port Forwarding".  You will need to create an entry that will forward all traffic on port 2222 to your internal ip address (192.168.1.10).  Any packets that are sent to your external ip address will be sent to your computer and whatever software you are running to accept the connections (ftp server, game server, web server, etc.)\n\nStill in the router settings, there should be something that will list your router's status.  Refer to your manual for specifics, but you will need to find the router's ip address.  It will not be in the 192.168.*.* range, as those are restricted to LAN use only.  If you have a static ip address (some DSL and cable accounts, mostly business accounts), then you can simply connect to that ip address' port 2222 (ie., 999.999.999.999:2222) from the internet and it should connect to your computer.\n\nIf, on the other hand, you have a dynamic ip address (like most home users), then the ip address will change.  Some routers have a built-in function to connect to one of several dynamic DNS services.  If so, it would be easiest to register an account with one of them (many offer free versions of their service, where your external address will be myname.theDNScompany.com), and use the router's built-in function.\n\nIf that is not available, do a search for "dynamic DNS" and you should find a bunch of companies listed.  Just browse through them until you find one you like, and they should have all the info you need, including some sort of software to automatically keep your ip address up to date in their servers.\n\nLong answer, and by no means complete, but it should hopefully get you pointed in the right direction and give you some keywords to search on for more information.

Basically you set the router to act as a DHCP client and plug it into the cable modem. It is actaully easier that using DSL because there is no logon.

Try to get in to your router page again. Just launch Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.1. The username is <blank> and the password is "admin". If you're using a DSL connection, look for internet connection type and change it to PPPOE.  Type in the username and password provided by your ISP. If you don't know what it is contact your ISP.\n\nIf you're using a cable connection, under <Setup> click on the subcategory <MAC Address Clone>. Click on <Enable> and then click on clone your PC's MAC. Then click on <Save Settings>. \n\nIf these steps does not work, turn off your modem,unplug the router from the power and turn off the computer as well (the one directly connected to the router. After powering off everything, wait for 20 seconds and then turn on the modem first. Wait for the lights to go stable and then power up the router, wait for 15 seconds then turn on the computer. \n\nIf this still won't work try to call up linksys.

No, but you may have to consider what equipment you attach to your LAN. You need to consult your ISP, modem documentation, or the modem's website to see if it has a router incorporated into the modem. They do this so that you can have the protection of a Router with NAT. Quite a few DSL providers hace modems with the feature. If it has a router incorporate into the modem you will only need a hub*, switch**, or wireless access point***. I have BellSouth DSL. I requested a wireless modem&#92;router and they sent me one at no cost. \nIf you do decide to add your own router and the modem has one incorporated into it, your ISP will have to talk you into changing the setting to allow the new router to work with your current system.

How are you connecting?  If you have dsl make sure all the filters are in place.

Connect a router to your ISP, then connect your computers to the router.  The router will get an IP address from your ISP.  Set your computers to get their IP address via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) from the router.  The router will assign non-routable IP addresses to your computers, therefore they cannot be seen on the ISP side of the router.\n\nThe router uses NAT, network address translation, to map packets to and from the ISP to the correct computer on your LAN.\n\nThis is a very standard setup.

Use the Linksys utility CD that came with the router.  Make sure your computer is already connected to the internet through the modem, then run the CD and follow the directions.  You'll need to have the phone line going from the wall into the modem, then the ethernet cord going from the modem into the router.  The utility takes you through installing the router step by step, telling you when to hook up things.  Just make sure you have your Verizon username and password handy.

Does your DSL router have a pair of antenna?\n\nThe "blue cord" is called a network cable.  It can run from the back of your router to your e-machine.  You e-machine should have a connection for it.  This will let you get on the Internet without being wireless for now.\n\nWhat brand of Westell is it?  that will help determine what you need to do to enable wireless if it can handle wireless connections.

Best way is to log into the router, when you are plugged in via cable you can go to start run and type cmd this will bring you to a dos prompt then you can type ipconfig /all look for the ip address of your gateway then type this into the address bar on internet explorer. Depending on the router you will need a username and password to login with then you should be able to go to the wireless network options. I would reccomend mac address filtering and perhaps wpa if support if not then at least enable wap
