I am using a desktop computer that uses Ubuntu operating system.
I can connect to the internet through just the modem. However when I try connecting through the router I can’t connect to the internet through the Ethernet cable or wirelessly. I am also trying to connect wirelessly to my Playstation 2 and to my Wii. In the future I will have a Playstaion 3 and a laptop computer that I would like to to connect as well. Also in about one month I will most likely have Windows Vista installed on one of my empty hard drives I would like to know if I would have to change anything for that even though I will be unplug that hard drive of the operating system I don’t want to use at the time?
All help is appreciated.
if there are any questions add to this thread
These are the stats from my modem. Where there are a whole bunch of 1’s that is where the stats of my computer are and where there are a whole bunch of 2’s are the stats from my router the 3’s are where on the
router it actually says stats
PS the stats from my modem are when the router isn’t connected and the Ethernet cable is connected to the computer
It my be long but it is pretty detailed I couldn’t copy and paste everything because it looked messed up in this text box.
under connection summary it said

In the middle is a chart I will fill out only one line out of the ten because they are all the same

QoS
the following is on the far right side
Two types of Quality of Service features are available, Wired QoS which controls devices plugged in to the router with a Ethernet cable, and Wireless QoS, which control devices that are wirelessly connected to the router.
Wired QoS
Device Priority : You may specify priority for all traffic from a device on your network by giving the device a Device Name, specifying priority and entering its MAC address.
Ethernet Port Priority : You may control your data rate according to which physical LAN port your device is plugged into. You may assign High or Low priority to data traffic from devices connected on LAN ports 1 through 4.
Application Priority : You may control your data rate with respect to the application that is consuming bandwidth. Check Optimize Gaming Applications to automatically allow common game application ports to have a higher priority. You may customize up to eight applications by entering the port number they use.
Wireless QoS
Wireless QoS is also referred to as Wi-Fi MultiMediaTM (WMM) by the Wi-Fi AllianceTM. Select Enable to utilize WMM if you are using other wireless devices that are also WMM certified.
No Acknowledgement : Enable this option if you would like to disable acknowledgement. If this option is enabled, the router will not re-send data if an error occurs.
Upstream Bandwidth Auto with an option of Manual
the Kbps is 0 but I am not able to changed it unless I change the disable button to enable
the Enable button is not checked the disable button is checked
