WRT 54G v2 not recognized

Question

I have been trying all day to set up my parent WRT 54G router. The router used to work fine, but we've had some renovations done tot he house and I've recently moved them back in.
I've managed to be able to connect (via Ethernet) to the router in order to configure it, and I've been able to connect to the ADSL modem and have configured that too. I was told to make sure that the modem was set up to allow bridging, and I've done this.
The problem comes when I try to connect the modem to the router to my computer. The router doesn't recognize that it has an internet connection. Further, when I've tried using Linksys Easylink Adviser I'm told that the program doesn't recognize the router even though all the correct lights are lit or flashing. I have tried resetting both the modem and router multiple times. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

if the connection is proper and the lights are lit up fine as well then open IE on the computer that is wired to the router....type http://192.168.1.1 .. logon keeping the username blank and the default password is "admin"....once on the set up page , go to Mac Address Clone subtab , click enable and click clone your PC's MAC .... save the settings...now under the Basic Setup subtab , change the internet connection type to PPPoE and enter the username and password info.....save the settings and do a power cycle....see whether this helps u
