Hi - recently purchased the above router so I can use a laptop downstairs. Not really knowing much about any of this sort of thing I proceeded to follow the instructions and connected up.

However, that's as far as I can get and my ntl modem cannot access the internet now.

Have been over and over the connections, can't really get them wrong and there are only two leads to connect!

I have wired my modem into the WAN adapter of the router and wired my PC NIC connection to the modem LAN, and according to the instructions I should be connected to the internet. Sadly I'm not!

Have to say am baffled and only option is to call out an IT person to assist, which at, this time of year, is a cost I'm hoping not to have to pay out!

If anyone has any ideas what the problem could be I would be most grateful! Am wondering whether the router is faulty, but all the lights appear to be flashing where they are supposed to .....?
