Troubleshooting:

First check to make sure all of the cables and power supplies are correctly connected as shown above. Normally a high percentage of all calls can be fixed by the caller. Our Customer Service typically asks most callers to reboot their equipment first. Most consumer grade routers and network equipment are susceptible to power surges and brown-out, so rebooting them clears them out of a locked up state. We also recommend restarting your computer. Our Customer Services department finds that these steps helps many of our customers.

Bypassing Router:

To determine if your router is the cause of the problem it is possible to unplug the internet connection from the back of the router and plug the cable directly into your computer. See Internet wired directly to one computer for pictures and instructions. If this fixes the problem then the router is the cause of the problem.
