I have just bought a Wireless G-router with Speedbooster (Linskys) but, after using the provided set-up CD, at the stage where the router tries to connect to the Internet it cannot do it.
I followed the instructions carefully and plugged each wire into the computer/router/modem as instructed. The only difference was that there was not originally an Ethernet cable plugged in anywhere on the back of the PC, so I connected (an extra) one I had into the modem and router.
The plug where I plugged in the blue network cable (provided with the router) was also not occupied by any other plugs, but the Internet worked fine with nothing being connected to it previously.
Having plugged all the wires in correctly and with the router and modem both seemingly working, it still would not connect to the Internet. I then phoned my ISP, who told me to try unplugging the modem from the wall for 30 seconds (which didn't work), and that the IP (address?) was dynamic.
Any ideas?
