First of all you need not to give up or get depressed.

I had the same problem with linksys and suffered like hell to have it working.

Then I understood from the guy at computer store that there is compatibility problem that could be possible between the router and the ADSL modem. I was advised to get a router with built-in ADSL modem. It worked like that.

If you ar not much into computers then you can get a technician to do the job once and for all.
