Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - [SOLVED] Modem problem "Limited or no connectivity"

Correct, so when I hardwire my laptop to the modem (my desktop experiences the same problem), I do not get any connection at all. However, when I connect my modem to my Belkin router (model #F5D5231-4) and then directly connect the router to my laptop, both my laptop and desktop get a connection back.

I'm mentioning two routers, but I only mentioned the Linksys router (BEFW11S4) because attempting to set it up is what got me to try and directly connect to the modem in the first place. My modem is a SpeedStream 5360 for ADSL.

So the main problem here is that when I hardwire the laptop or desktop to the modem, I have limited or no connectivity. Because of that, the Linksys set-up program is unable to automatically configure itself.
