Modem Mode to Router Mode....No Internet Connection

All,

Just wondered if anyone can offer any advice as I may be missing something really simple but it's baffling me at present.

Got a new SH just after Xmas as my previous one was faulty. Set this one up and it's been working fine but I've generally had it in modem mode as I only occasionally need wireless and my laptop is connected via Ethernet.

Wireless has worked fine on the last couple of occasions I have used it but tonight I switched from modem mode to router mode and although my laptop and other devices can detect and connect to the wireless network, it's coming up with an error message saying no internet connection available. Even if I disconnect my laptop from the wireless network, it still says no internet connection available via the Ethernet connection whilst in router mode.

I haven't changed any settings or anything just literally disabled modem mode and gone back to full router mode. I've now switched it back to modem mode and the connection is back and working fine. I've tried it a couple of times now just in case there was a temporary loss of service but it's the same both times. I even tried rebooting the SH in router mode but to no avail.

I've checked all the power levels etc and everything seems fine, just doesn't seem to accept there is an internet connection in router mode.

Grateful for any advice as I'm sure it must be something really obvious, just can't quite put my finger on it.

Cheers
