Hi Farrell207,
I apologize for the inconvenienced it has caused you. I will try my best to assist you.

2. Please provide me your network setup. ( What is connected to the router and which ports)
3. What is the IP address of your computer when connected to the router?

Hi Farrell207,
1. Connect a computer to the router(LAN ports).
2. Open command prompt(CMD) of your computer and type ipconfig. Look for the IPv4 address. Provide me the IP address and default gateway.
3. What is the color of the LED light for Internet or the globe sign?

Internet lite is white ...
