When using a router as a switch you should not use the "WAN" port for the input - just use one of the LAN ports.

Good Luck

Thanks Pcman , I am connecting this router to one of the LAN port in network and i am using router's 4 port as input and i am not using any WAN port. my internet port is empty in the current router. The pc is accessing other local pcs in network and showing connected with DHCP assign IP my network is also not showing limited access, Why i am not able to access my internet on LAN?

You can check the issue that you have for your Linksys router not getting connected to the Internet. You could check if it is a configuration issue or a Internet Service Provider issues. If you have a configuration issue, you would need to configure your Linksys router. IF you are not connected to the Internet or if you have any issues with your ISP, you can contact your ISP to get the issues fixed.
