Hey, I have been given a "Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster WRT54GS" but can't get the internet to work through it. I can connect to the router management system wirelessly, but no internet. I have managed to get the light beside the internet title on the front of the box to light up, by connecting up my other modem (what's with that?!) but no internet. I have been using a wired router (zyxel, free with imagine) since my previous wireless router died. Any ideas? Help greatly appreciated

How is it meant to be getting it's internet access? What's plugged into the WAN port?

I could't say for sure what a WAN port is... But there is a socket a the back of the linksys router which is titled "Internet". Now, it's the size of an ethernet cable, so I'm not surprised that just plugging in the phone line doesn't work. So my Zyxel router has the phone line plugged into it, and an ethernet Patch cable from that into the internet port on th linksys. *sigh*

Check the interface on the Linksys and see if it's being assigned an IP from the Zyxel.
