What is the model of the Linksys router you have? |
Sorry I do know this as I am not thick and use internet forums all the time! I typed so fast and just clicked 'send' it was too late when I realised!
Thanks for the welcome!  |
Don't worry about it.

I am using Linksys WRT54GS Router. My brothers pc is connected to the wall via an 'aerial' type connection which is plugged into the modem.There is also a usb cable from the modem to the back of the pc.
My router is also connected to the modem via a blue lead [?]
Does this sound about right?

This is the problem. The modem can use either the USB port or the Ethernet connection. NOT BOTH (not shouting there). Try unplugging your brother's PC from the Modem, then switch the modem off. Now, plug his PC into your router and switch the modem back on. You will need an Ethernet connection on the PC. If it doesn't have one, you can buy one from any PC supplier, and they cost around £5 to £10 for a cheap one.
You should find both will work then

In case you are wondering what an Ethernet socket is, your router has five of them (four for network connections, one for the Cable Modem).
