Thanks for your reply! I do have cable internet, but I'm embarrassed to say that I am not computer savvy and not sure how to do exactly what you've said? You also had said that I would need to do the set up on the Netgear router and again I'm not sure about what to do? I'm sure you've never come across someone that needs the basics explained to him like I'm asking you to do for me, but I'm hoping to learn more from people like yourself. Thanks again
What kind of internet service do you have cable or dsl? If you have cable internet you have to reboot the modem and after it connects to the internet then you connect your router to it. Of course you still need to run the setup on your router so it can detect your internet coming from the modem.

Well I don't know if your router came with a setup disc that you can use, but I'm pretty sure it came with instructions on how to set it up. Let us know since there's a few steps to do the setup.
Thanks again for your reply. No there wasn't any set up disk all that came with the router was a ethernet cable and a one page pamphlet and on the front cover was a link for a Nighthawk App for a smart phone which Idon't have(still stuck with an antique flip phone) On the back cover was a link for www.netgear .com/support, but that was it?
