I have this old router and a new modem. The modem is different because I was forced to get a new one cause of a power surge. Now, the router does not work and whenever I try to hook it all up, the DSL MODEM i have has internet and power and all that good stuff BUT the ETHERNET light does not flash up. It should flash up but it's not. All the connections are good and I reinstalled with a disk. It just does not work with the router. The ETHERNET light does not pop up.
ACTIONTEC: Gt701
Linksys: WRT54G2
Update:I can get internet if I directly connect my modem to my computer.
