I have a Linksys e2500 router. When I connect to my cable internet modem, it shows connected and the wireless is active but the internet will not connect. The internet does work when hardwired but otherwise, no computer is able to connect to the wireless. I have tried to reset the router and the modem but neither has worked. I want some help with this issue. Thanks

Hey, you need to change the base address of Linksys router to something other than 192.168.1.1,
I suggest perhaps 192.168.2.1 as an alternative.
Then the two routers won't have an address conflict.
With both base addresses the same, the router can never make a connection to that modem/router, and you don't get an Internet connection.
Try to change the address to fix the Linksys router not working issue.
