Went from wrt 310n to 610n now i can't get it to connect to the internet.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had this problem.  I changed my router from an old linksys wireless G speedboost to the wrt 310n.  The setup disc was wonderful and I had no problems at all.  What surprised me was that the setup disc knew I had a router and guided about changing the router..  Everything went well and I had no problems for a day.  Then I saw the dual band 610n wireless n.  So I took out the wrt 310n and exchanged it for the 610n.  During the setup disc which looked almost similar to the 310n one, I encountered a slight problem.  It states that I don't have an internet connection.  I rebooted everything and still does not work. I'm connected to the network but no internet connection.  My computer gets an IP address of 192.168.1.100.   I checked my username and password because I'm using a PPPOE DSL connection.  I hooked up my modem directly to the computer and I got an internet connectoin. So I did the setup disc.  When it was time to switch to the router, it still does not pick up an internet connection.  Any tips in solving this?  Is my stuff defective?

Thanks for responding.   I tried that method and it didn't work for me. Also, I need the MTU to be above 1400 for online play.  However, I found this on amazon review about the WRT610N.  http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B001AZ01EO?showViewpoints=1  Seems like everyone is either enjoying this router or having problems with it. 
This guy says the solution is to change the router's address to 192.168.2.1.  Ok I'm confused, but why does changing the router's address seem to work for some people.  I'm gonna try this when I get home from work later.  But can anyone tell me why changing the router's address may be the answer to get this router to connect to the internet?  Has this solution worked for anyone else that was having the same problem.  Also, why isn't this implemented in wrt610n, but all the router versions before it seems to be fine? (WRT310N, WRTGS, etc.) You would think the wrt610n is almost like the top of the line router you can get for your home that they would have implemented this in the setup disc or the router.  For it being Dual band maybe?  Who knows, this is a mystery to me.

I also found this answer in the linksys docs as well under step #2.  Almost makes the setup disc useless to me.

Not too sure why that would work.  I'm kinda embarassed to ask this since I graduated in networks and security of a Comp Sci degree. .  Hope my teacher isn't reading this.
