When attempting to setup the router I hope you are putting it under "obtain IP automatically or dynamically". Then you have to go to the status\connection tab. Make sure your MAC address has been cloned(also you need to use the adapter that was initially used to activate your cable connection if not call the cable company and give them the new mac address). Then release and renew DHCP. Once that is done you must power cycle the system. Turn off the computer, then router, then the modem. Wait about 20 seconds then restart the modem, then router, then the computer. In that order. Your cables must be connected like this Internet on the router to the modem then computer to port 1-4. That should do it. If that doesn't work try downloading the latest firmeare for the router then try again.
