Ok, if I disconnect from the modem, how does the PC get a new address?  Ho0w do I make an IP static, I don't know where network properties is on Windows.  Where do I input the ip, subnet, etc.?

Sorry, I had a wired D-Link before and I had no problems.  This is my first wireless one.

DO NOT update the firmware using the wireless connection. Update it with a computer that is wired to the router.

I did.  I have the computer wired to the router.  I don't have wireless access on my PC.

I know when I first installed it I had a problem with the lights on the front.  The blue earth one would not connect when I first used the modem.  It would not recognize my internet.  I think I had to reboot both, all I know is that I had to call Dlink Tech Services.  I don't know if that helps or not.  Also, do I need to turn off my Mcafee while installing?

Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.

Is the web page still not responding while the router is isolated from the modem and just with the pc connected?

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
What ISP Modem make and model do you have?
If this modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems.
To tell if the modem is bridged or not, look at the routers web page, Status/Device Info/Wan Section, if there is a 192.168.0.# address in the WAN IP address field, then the modem is not bridged.

Check cable between PC, Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. NEW Cat6 is recommended.

Possilbe after all this the router has a problem and should be RMA'd with DLink.
