Thanks Doc
Sorry, should have mentioned....it's Windows XP, so not too ancient! Just slow...

OK, if I power everything off then switch on router, modem then PC, I can get the "internet" light on the router to light up. However, when I do this, the internet no longer works on the PC.

I have a laptop which can see the router, however it's not possible to do anything with it. It comes up with the config options when I try and connect, but then it gets stuck and the config fails...

Do I have to do anything with DHCP settings or anything like that, now that the router is connected?
