Hi experts in anandtech,
I have an installation problem. So here it is, I have recently purchase Verizon dsl and they sent over some filters for my phone and a Westell 6100 modem. I followed the cd instruction in installing my modem and everything worked when I have the modem directly connected to my ethernet card. I want to put in a wireless router (linksys-WRT54GC) so that my brother don't have ethernet cables running in my room. So what is my next step? I have a cd that came with my router and I followed it and it didn't work. It said something about can't find internet connection. I know the modem works fine cause if i directly connect it to my pc, it works but when I try to add a router, it doesn't. Someone told me to power down my modem and it should work. I will do that when I get home but I don't really know what else to do if it doesn't. Can someone show me the ropes in installing a router?
