Linksys verizon vonage = headache (Help, please)

Question

So here's a brief rundown of what's going on. I've had my Verizon fios connection as well as vonage running through my old Linksys wireless b router. Today, after years of reliability, my router bit the dust (nobody was able to connect to the internet, but connecting the computer directly to the Fios line seemed to work fine.)
So figuring it would be less hassle if I just bought the same thing and connected it the same way, I went out and bought the wireless G broadband router. I get hit home and try to connect it the same way. I get my internet working on the primary computer, but the computers with recievers and the vonage system refuse to work and when I try to use the little help guide thing, it keeps telling me my computer is connected to a different router! So I go through the setup again and it keeps doing the same thing. Verizon told me it's not their problem and to contact linksys tech support, which put me on hold for fifty thousand years. Here is basically how it's set up:
The fios line comes into the room with the main computer. It connects directly with the Linksys router into port 1. Port 2 runs from the linksys router into the computer, and the internet port runs into the little linksys voip thingy for vonage. Then, i have 2 other computers which are connected to wireless recievers and basically pick up the network. I can't figure out what to do. The wireless router seems to want to be connected to a modem, but there is no modem and there never has been. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm at my wits end here.
Thanks.

Answer 1

1) connect the FIOS line to the router's internet port ...
2) from the computer on the router's port # 1 , access the router web ui using http://192.168.1.1 ... the default login password is admin
3)if you get nothing using http://192.168.1.1 , disconnect the FIOS line from the router
4)reset the router for 30 seconds...do a power cycle
5)try to access the router again using http://192.168.1.1
6)if successful , change the router's local ip add to 192.168.2.1 and save the settings...do a power cycle
7)connect the FIOS line to the modem's internet port
8)check whether the internet works now ...
9)change the wierless settings on the router and try connecting from the wireless computers ..
