Setting up a wireless router – router not receiving signal from modem?
I’m setting up a wireless network for a laptop and two tivo’s with a Belkin router, and cable provided high speed internet service. I have everything set up correctly, ran the installation discs on both the internet service and the router – but the internet signal is not being picked up by the router. If I plug my computer to the modem, there is a signal. If I plug it to the router (and either plug from the router to my computer or try wireless) there is no signal. I tried to connect with my Tivo, and it said that the internet connection can not be found. I’ve already spent hours on the phone with IT, and no solution has been found – if anyone has a similar situation they resolved, or advice, I’d appreciate it!

Your modem should be plugged into the Ethernet port of the router and an Ethernet cable run from your router to your PC. If you do this and your Internet connection cannot be made then it’s most liable because you need to bridge your modem in your ISP settings. I would recommend contacting your service provider for help in doing this unless you’re extremely familiar with bridging protocols.
