I am upgrading from a linksys wireless g router to a dlink dir-655 wireless n router.
The new router will not connect to the internet, if i switch back to the old router all is ok.
I have tried automatic and manual setup and nothing seems to work.

I have reset the modem each time I have switched the router.
I have updated the firmware in the router to the latest.
I am using a motorola surfboard modem.
Any tips on manual setup?

okay so this is how i have my DIR 655 setup
you might try manually entering in the other routers MAC address and have the router broadcast that one maybe the modem will like it better or have it use your computers mac address
i recall having to do that when i first got the router

Probably not. Hence why we should insure we've read all of the above posting before making a post .

Emailed back and forth with D-Link tech support, router would not connect no matter what we tried.
Ended up getting an RMA for the unit, going to try another one.
I am on charter-cable not dsl, thank goodness.
