I have a desktop running XP and a laptop with Win7. Everything was fine with my Desktop connected to my router, cablemodem and Vonage modem for phone. Had a shared internet connection and a network between DT and laptop. Had a problem with phone connection and in the process of fixing it I foolishly factory reset the router. I eventually removed the router from everything to have internet on my DT. I have tryed to reinstall router using the CD and keep getting a msg. that says I have a router installed and the only way I can proceed is to respond by saying I want to install a new router. Unsuccessful. When I try to get t0 192.168.0.1 to do a setup that way I keep getting a timeout. Any help would be appreciated (greatly) !!

Hi neophyte,
The problem is that you are failing to remove Power from the Cable Modem, in order to recognize the Router.
To fix the problem, is to remove all wires from both the Cable Modem and the Router. Remove the Power Connector from the Outlet and not the Cable Modem to avoid switching the connectors between the Modem and Router and maybe blowing the Router. In other words, start from scratch. It will work.
Then when everything is working again, save the configuration file from the Router to your Briefcase Folder on the desktop computer.
