Your Internet cable is not plugged in message
If you get a "Your Internet cable is not plugged in" message when trying to set
up your router, follow these troubleshooting steps.
To fix the problem:
1. Make sure that an Ethernet or Internet cable (or a cable like the one
supplied with your router) is securely connected to the yellow Internet
port on the back of the router and to the appropriate port on your
modem. This port on the modem is usually labeled Ethernet, but may
be named Internet or WAN.

2. Make sure that your modem is connected to power and is turned on. If it
has a power switch, make sure that it is set to the ON or l position.
3. If your Internet service is cable, verify that the cable modem's CABLE port
is connected to the coaxial cable provided by your ISP.
Or, if your Internet service is DSL, make sure that the DSL phone line is
connected to the modem's DSL port.
4. If your computer was previously connected to your modem with a USB
cable, disconnect the USB cable.
5. Run the Setup program again on the router's CD.
Cannot access your router message

your network, follow these troubleshooting steps.

currently have wireless Internet access, the problem may be that you have
accidentally connected to a different wireless network.
