Ethernet

• Off. No device is connected to the Ethernet port.

A computer or mobile should be able to connect to a router like your Link sys by Ethrnet or wireless, so the router does associate some LAN IP by DHCP, and you should be able to reach the other brand router Web UI on it's LAN IP like http://192.168.0.1/ or http://192.168.1.1/ ... troubleshooting starts t that point.
