When I connect the modem to the router the WAN light does go on. I then connect my computer to one of the PC connections on the router. I am then able to connect to my wireless network connection, but when typing the router's IP address in Internet Explorer and logging in successfully, the status page does not connect to the dynamic server and shows the WAN IP address as 0.0.0.0

This doesn't make sense, I'm afraid.

If you are connected with a wired connexion, then your PC's wireless should see the router and be in "Local" mode.

You didn't answer the question as to whether or not you see the internet on a wired connexion to the router.

Accordong to what you report, the router is behaving correctly.

The acid test is to connect wirelessly only to the router via the router's IP address and then see what the DHCP connexion status is.

I presume also that the router and your PC wireless card are on the same channel.
