Check and see what IP address is set for your Modem. Its probably the same address.
If your router is wireless and youre trying to hook it up to your modem and the wireless router uses the same IP - things dont work.
There should be a setup routine for the wireless that allows you to change it. That was the problem for mine.
I think I ended up setting it to 192.168.2.1
The status and WAN have been blinking for about ten minutes ... it shouldn’t be transferring for THAT long ... should it ?
