You need to do an 'ipconfig /release' on the currently connected PC the
power-off the cable modem and leave it off for a while. After five minutes
(usually) plug the router into the CM then power-on the CM only and let it
get a firm connection. When the CM has all green light power-on your router
and let it go through the startup tests, when that's done plug in (use a
wired connection) and power-on a PC and go through the router setup. That
should do it.
It's been discussed many times at www[dot]cm-forums[dot]co[dot]uk - have a
search around there and if you have any problems post on the forum.
