setting up a router

unledded

CAG Veteran
I just bought a router (Linksys WRT54GL), I put in the CD and follow the SetupWizard. When I reached step 7 I keep getting this error, "Unable to connect to the router! Check that the router has been connected to the PC, or reset the Router to factory default settings by pressing the router's reset button for 5 seconds" I check all the cables and they are connected properly, I tried resetting my router, and I tried a lot of other things but I just can't seem to fix this error and pass step 7.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks
 
Call Linksys tech support. I purchased Linksys products in the past. Had the worst time setting them up. Bought netgear products they ended up working just fine. Set up was a breeze. From my experience Linksys sells broken products that you have to RMAC to get a working version of.
 
Run screaming back to the store and exchange it for a Belkin! Quick, do it NOW!

I had the same issues, called their customer service (and they were quite helpful), but down the line I had horrible issues where I'd have to rehook everything every once in a while. Finally, I switched to Belkin, no problems.

I hear people either love or hate Linksys.
