hey, Thanks for helping me with this .... do i need the USB cable still in while the ethernet is connected from the PC to the modem? Because that wont work at the moment

espresso

No I would try to set it up just using the Ethernet cable. Until your LAN port is working correctly, you won't be able to configure your router.

chillerman

O, is that a problem with the computer then? How would we solve it?

espresso

Not necessarily a problem, it may just need configuring as I said above. Have you looked at the network cards TCP/IP settings?

chillerman

I took a look, however there is two options the "local area connection" which has a "network cable unplugged" or "local area connection 2" which is "connected"
Both obtain the DNS and IP address automatically?

startrekker

control panel.network connections, double click on local area connection then click on the properties tab make sure that internet protocol is ticked, highlight it and select properties and make sure obtain an ip address autimatically is ticked

chillerman

Yep, that is ticked, however i still cannot acces http://192.168.0.1

What does start, run, cmd

ipconfig

As a stab in the dark, try running https://www.ccleaner.com
