Recently changed over to yahoo from aol. Now the router won't work. Need help. Have a linksys G router?

Question

Everything worked with aol. But now with yahoo I can't get it to work. All I did was load the software with the new modem for yahoo. Please advise on how to hookup properly, or if I need something else.

Answer 1

if the router is completely out (as in you cant get on its status page) then just reset it: there should be a tiny button somewhere on it that says "reset" , push it.
