    Do you have a setup cd that may have come with the router.

    yea i found the CD and i went throught some stuff and when it gets to installing your USB drivers it stops and tells me to "insert or connect your adapter now"

    ive never touched anything since i reformatted and it was working..tried putting thm in and out and all that but it doesnt seem to be working :/

    Are you connecting through USB? If not, there should be no need to install anything. IIRC, they do ask you to ensure nothing is connected until they ask you at the start of the USB set up though.

    If you are connecting through Ethernet, you may need to reinstall your Ethernet drivers.

    Either from a driver disk supplied by your manufacturer, or online from their website.

    If you use ethernet there should be no need for drivers. Just plug in the Ethernet cable (looks like a wide phone cable) and try your Internet. To re install the Ethernet drivers just delete them (control panel>system>Hardware>Device manager>network adapters) and restart the computer. They should reinstall automatically on restart. Ethernet usually uses a standard set of Microsoft drivers built into windows.
