The basics are simply to power off everything whenever you change over the wiring or the device connected to the modem/STB. You can only have one device connected to the TW modem/STB, i.e. a single PC, or alternatively a router (whcih the TW device thinks is a computer).

Get a basic connection established first (or not as the case may prove to be) then, and only then add in issues with networking. At the moment it seems very much that you just do not have a clue as to what thing or things may be causing issues.

The crossover lead may well be an issue if the old lead is still in place. The adage, "such it and see" springs to mind.

When you do get as far as putting the wireless back in, having proved the Explorer is working OK and you do have a connection, consider doing a manufacturer reset on the router first, so again you start from a clean sheet.
