Bought a LW050 54Mbps Wireless Router yesterday.
Running ethernet cable from Cable Modem to Wan port then Ethernet cable to PC. I will be using the wireless Laptop later but for now, I cannot get an internet connection on the PC.
The ethernet port at the back of the PC flashes but no internet.

Any help appreciated.

Hi, welcome to the forum. Have setup the router as per the instructions?

Have you turned to Modem off and on when you put the router in place?

Chapter 4: Quick Installation Guide
After connecting the LW050 Router into your network, you should configure it. This
chapter describes how to configure the basic functions of your LW050 Wireless Router.
These procedures only take you a few minutes. You can access the Internet via the
router immediately after successfully configured.
4.1 TCP/IP configuration
The default IP address of the LW050 54Mbps Wireless Router is 192.168.50.1, and the
default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be seen from the LAN. They
can be changed as you desire, as an example we use the default values for description
in this guide.
Connect the local PCs to the LAN ports on the router. There are then two means to
configure the IP address for your PCs.
Configure the IP address manually
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC(s). If you need instructions as to how to
do this, please refer to Appendix B: "Configuring the PCs."
2) Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.50.xxx ("xxx" is
from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.50.1
(The router's default IP address)
Obtain an IP address automatically
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on
your PC(s). If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to
Appendix B: "Configuring the PCs."
2) Power off the router and PC(s). Then turn on the router, and restart the PC(s).
The built-in DHCP server will assign IP addresses for the PC(s).
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network
connection between your PC(s) and the router. The following example is in Windows
2000 OS.
Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.50.1, then press Enter. This will tell you if their is a connectionfrom pc to router

It was the Networking Sharing Centre that was not turned on.
All is well now
Thanks to you both
