  • First of all try connecting directly your cable modem without router and check it connects internet or not.
  • Use "ipconfig /release" and "ipconfig /renew" from the windows command prompt to get a new IP address from the cable modem.
  • If you cannot get online than contact your ISP for further assistance.
  • Now unplug the cable modem from your computer and connect it to the WAN port of the router.
  • Enter the router's configuration with your web browser.
  • Tell the router to Clone your Mac Address. wait a few seconds.
  • Plug the router into the cable modem.
  • Check the following lights should be illuminated at the front of the router.
  • Power,WAN Link, Link/Act.
  • Now make the router ask for a new IP address from the cable modem in the web interface.
