Re: Reconfigure Linksys Router
If you're using a cable modem, you should be able to connect up the router, power everything up again (modem first, let the lights settle, then the router, let it run diagnostics and find the NICs, then the PCs) and it should all run.
I f you have a Set Top Box, you will either have to register the router's MAC with ntl - you should be taken to the page automatically when you try try to connect; IIRC you'll need your username and password - or clone the PC's MAC to the router. Otherwise, just as for the modem.
If you've changed any settings in the router, just do a factory reset. My experience of Linksys routers is that they'll connect quite happily to ntl with no changes; it's not a wireless router, so plug in and boot should be all there is to it.
One point, though - if the Linksys BEFSR81 v2 is the same as v2 BEFSR41, the 4 port version, it only has a 10Mb WAN port, which means you won't get the full 10Mb internet connection through it.
