Hi.

Thanks for the real quick replies.

Wired: I know both the cables I am using work - I have tested them both when connecting the modem directly to the laptop (that's how I'm online now)

However - when connecting the router to the laptop via a cable, it does not assign a correct IP to the laptop (by correct I mean the laptop is telling me I have an IP assigned in the range 169.234.xxx.xxx, whereas DHCP on the router is set up to assign IPs to connected computers in the range 192.168.2.100-149. This DHCP allocation works when wirelessly connecting to the router, just not using a cable.)

So I can't make the wired connection work either. . .

Cheers.

p.s. I've done many, many factory resets too in an attempt to get this to work. . .
