    Hey antinode and michelkenword, thank you very much for your effort and your quick answers!! I reseted the router again now and set up the configurations manually. In an other Forum I read that I have to use static IP adresses because of the "ancient" motorola modem, so I used them. and it worked!!! Yeah!!!!

    Thank you for your help!

Thank you for the link! my Internet LED shows orange. And I tried to put off my modem and the router and I used the the cable from netgear, but still it kind of doesn't lead me to the routerlogin.net page. I can use already the router's wifi and visit other internet sites.The IP adress is:  192.168.113.254 , when I tipe "ipconfig" into CMD.

    Go back to basics. Adding a new router can confuse the poor things. Reset the router and rebuild the network from the ground up.

     

    Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:

     

    • Turn off and unplug the modem.
    • Turn off the modem router and computers.
    • Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes.
    • Turn on the modem router and wait 2 minutes.
    • Turn on the computers.

    If that doesn't work, then at least you know you have done the basics and can investigate other possibilities.

    > my Internet LED shows orange.

       To what is the router's Internet port connected?

       Visit http://www.netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and
    look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  It explains what the LED
    indicators mean.

    > [...] I tried to put off my modem and the router and I used the the
    > cable from netgear, [...]

       I don't understand that.  What, exactly, is "my modem"?  What,
    exactly, is connected to what?

    > [...] it kind of doesn't lead me to the routerlogin.net page.

       A clear description of what you did, and a clear description of what
    happened when you did it, would be more helpful than what anything "kind
    of doesn't" do.

    > [...] I can use already the router's wifi and visit other internet

       Really?  Then what's the problem?

    > The IP adress is:  192.168.113.254 , when I tipe "ipconfig" into CMD.

       Whose "The IP adress" is that?  The Windows system?  The gateway?
    The DNS server?  It would be more helpful to copy+paste the whole
    "ipconfig" report here.

       I would not expect to see an address like 192.168.113.254 associated
    with a WNR2000v5.  Are you connecting to the WNR2000v5, or are you
    connecting to your "my modem"(+router?)?

      I reseted now the router, switched off the laptop, the modem and the router, waited 2 min, switched on the modem waited 2min, schwitched on the router and waited 2 min, schwitched on the laptop. Then it led me to the "www.routerlogin.com" when I opened the browser. Then I could decide between acces point modus or standard modus. I choose acces point modus. The next step was about the IP Adress and said start your browser again. I did it and tried to visit "www.routerlogin.net". Didn't work. No Internet connection anymore.

      I downloaded the user manual and read the part about the LEDs.

      -> that was the IP Adress of the gateway.
