If i try to run the setup wizard it is able to identify my type of internet conection but times out at a later step.

My internet is definatly working as if i plug my ethernet cable from PC to modem directly i get internet access.

I am a VM XL customer.
Turn off the modem and the router, wait a minute.
Turn the modem on, wait for the lights to settle,
4 solid green lights if Motorola
Cable light solid if Webstar or Scientific Atlanta
Sync and Rdy solid if Ambit
Once this happens turn on the router, the computer should show you when you're connected to the router then try the internet.

It sounds as if you're not rebooting the modem after connecting the router if you can disconnect it and connect it to your computer and get online immediately.
