Turn the modem power off for 20 minutes. If that doesn't work, call your ISP and ask them to do a MAC reset.

Go to the setup page of your router and check the access restrictions page to make sure internet access is allowed.
Also, go to the Status page and make sure an IP address has been assigned to your router by your ISP |

This is a link the the Linksys forum. Be sure and mentioned which router you have and whether you're connecting via cable or DSL.

Folks, if it's cable internet it needs a MAC reset. Some providers automatically reset the MAC when you power the modem off for a while, others have to do it manually. The other option is to clone the MAC of your NIC into the router.
