Did it work previously ? The Linksys site would be the best place to look for help.

You might try a hard restart of the router. There is a small hole on the back panel where you can push in a ball point pen (or a straightened paperclip) That will reset the router to factory defaults.

have you tried to logon to router? I think Linksys routers use the following address:

enter http://192.168.1.1/ in your browser address line
