Issue concerning the EasyLink Advisor for the Wrt54gs v6.0

Question

On Monday of this last week, my ISP was changed from DirectTV/Qwest, to Cox Cable. When I returned home, our connection setup had been changed. We had setup a modem and the router in a different room, with the network being unsecure, and not supported by a computer system. Now, we have the router connected to the PC, and the modem in the room as well.
Now, the Circo System light is orange, as opposed to the usual white, and my wireless adapter gets kicked off of the network I had to recreate, which is unsecure, every 12 hours. I think this may be because the CPU with the wireless router does not have the EasyLink Advisor installed on it, and the disc is nowhere in sight.
My question is, do I need the advisor, and if so, where can I get it, without the disc? I've looked around the forum, and I can't find a clue. The system with the wireless router is a Windows XP, and the system with the adapter is a Windows Vista. And if that happens to not be the case, what should I try to do? Any help is appreciated, thank you.

No need to use the easylink advisor what you could do is try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out it will definatelyConfiguration for cable connection:-
 Access the setup page of the router by launching an Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as admin" (Without quotes) click on ok.
On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings button.
