router problem

boman47k

I think lightning damaged our modem supplied by Bell South. They sent us a refurbished Motorola. Now when I hook my DIR-615 router up, I get no service. All the lights on the router light up except the last one (globe).

When I remove the ethernet cable from the 'new' modem and put it in the port on the Dir-615, I lose online signal. It is like there is no connection between the modem and the router.

To rehash, I connect the router to the ethernet port on the desktop computer. I connect the modem and the router. No service.

When I remove the ethernet cable from the router and put it back in the modem, I get internet on the desktop. Does this mean the router is also damaged?

Thinking seriously about getting a router modem combo if I need another router.

What type of internet connection do you have? It sounds like you need to set up the DSL connection on the router.

I believe you have to reconfigure the modem to the router. It may be as simple as the way you power it all up.

Power everything down

1. Start the modem
2. Start the Router
3. Start the desktop
