Hi all, basically my router started playing up (tplink wr1043nd) so with it still been just under 12months old I ordered a replacement.

In the meantime I also ordered a linksys 6500 as I thought I would use this instead & could keep the tplink as a backup if anything happened.

A couple of days later linksys turned up so I followed instructions & tried to get it to work but no joy. In the meantime the tplink also arrived so gave that ago and still no joy.

What I can't understand is if I connect Ethernet direct to modem & plug straight into my laptop internet works. Am I missing something?

Any help will be much appreciated.
