Can't help a lot if you're using a Mac - could be more specific with
Windows. But...for starters connect the wireless router to one of the
outgoing ports, not the input port. When you use the input port your
network sees the new router as a different domain from the router that's
being used as your gateway to the internet. Also make sure the wireless
router has a different IP address from the gateway modem/router.

I just got switched from AT&T to Cox Internet service. They gave me a non-WiFi
modem, so I tried to connect it up with one of my three previous Wi-Fi routers
(Belkin, Apple, Cisco), and could get all three of the WiFi routers to work but not
one of them will attach me to the Internet (through wireless or through an ethernet
wire from the back). If I go directly from the back of the Cox modem to my Mac, the
internet comes up. For some reason, my WiFi routers cannot seem to get the Internet
signal from the modem. I tried 4 different ethernet wires (between modem and
router) just to make sure that wasn't the problem. And I did make sure that the
modem was connected to the right ethernet connection (ingoing, not outgoing).
Is there something obvious that I'm missing here? All three routers do make a
connection with my computers, but no Internet signal is detected.

I get home tonight...hopefully one of you has had the same issue and knew how
to correct it).
