I can connect to the internet but not my router?

Well, first thing, you MUST use a wired connection to configure the device. Then you use your browser to go to http://192.168.0.1 which is the router's IP address on your network. Some routers use different IP addresses, such as 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1. Your documentation should tell you what the IP address is that it assumes when it powers up. Perform a reset to factory default conditions. Your documentation should tell you exactly HOW to do this hard reset. In my case, I pull the power plug, press and hold the reset button and then apply power. The sequence of lights tells me when I can release the reset button which completes the factory default reset, which is about 15 seconds or so. Then I log in with the default "admin" user with a password of "admin" and I'm off and running. First thing, change the default admin password, then make the settings your ISP told you to use and log out. Restart the router. The internet should now be available to you. Again, log in and configure the wireless portion. Most wireless routers default to an OPEN/PUBLIC connection, meaning NO password is required, and anyone can access your internet connection, which is called leeching. Write down the passwords you use and tape it to the router. The wireless password is NOT the same as the admin password. Some people are confused about that tidbit and fail to change the default wireless password and then wonder why they get hacked by an outsider.
