For some cable modem/ISP combos, you need to clone your Laptops MAC address into the router. There is usually an option for that.
Other than that, the default configuration (after factory reset) is made for cable modems.
Make sure that on your side of the router, you are in a private network (like 192.168.x.x). The router should then aquire an outside IP by itself and show that.
With my Belkin router, there is a green 'ONLINE' status at the top right in that case. Once the router itself is online, it should work. If not, report back in.  |
I believe it was cable modem.
Laptop is connected wireless.
Router is Belkin Wireless N Router N300.
I went and cloned my Laptop's MAC address into the MAC section, but it still didn't work.
Not quite sure how to check the last part, but it is getting an IP of 192.168.x.x-type, though of course, the status is red and offline...
