Trouble with wireless router

Hi, trying to replace my regular router with wireless.

Using Rj45 to the comp thats in the same room and USB wireless to the other. When its all plugged in, every light is green that should be green on the router itself and I have healthy connections listed in windows on both pcs.
I cant actually connect to anything though, on either computer. Any connection attempt/ping times out.

IP is set to obtain automatically, I tried setting a manual IP but that didnt help.

thx

 

Wireless Router Woes

First unplug your modem and router
Check that all cables are correct ( it may be the simplest thing of placing the line from the modem in a lan rather than the single ram port).
Reset the router to factory defaults by holding in the switch in the pinhole .
( a pin or paper clip can be used with router on)
Then plug in the router and modem.
See if you can set up the router and see an ip in the status panel in the router control panel)
If it is a cable connection you set the type to cable or grab ip automatically.
If it is a dsl then its PPPoe .
You have to have your dsl account and password. Then tell it to log on.
If you can log on and see the ip then you are off to the races.
If not - your ethernet cables . wrong password or dsl account name or perhaps you did not pay your dsl bill and they have cut you off.
If you now have internet you can work pn the wireless connection.

This is the first step

 

A couple things:

1.Are the lights on the router blinking or solid?

2.Take the new router out of the connection and just connect modem directly into computer. If it works then the issue is with router. You need to eliminate possibilities step by step and start with hardware first.

3. Go to command prompt and type ipconfig/all and let us see what your output is. Then we can start other troubleshooting from there.

Let us know so we can help you get it resolved.
