[G4] Router trouble

[B G]

After getting to the router setup page
192.168.1.1

click on the status icon and make sure you are connected to the  
internet.

Depending on the type of modem and your ISP set up.

you may need to configure the router as a passive device that uses  
the modems ability to log in to thew ISP or as an active device that  
you use to make and maintain the connection.

In my case all the login info is stored in the modem so the Router is  
a simple passive DHCP device.

Your ISP should have support for this. Mine setup instructions for  
most major router manufacturers.
