The router is brand new (never used). Thanks for all the responses.

Can someone explain this please? I still use my phone lines (dial-up) to get on the internet. I was able to use Verizon DSL when I lived somewhere else, but not now, so the point…

"pushkin" and "linksys" are two SSID's for networks that you are in range of. Pushkin has secured its network so you have no access (but can still see it). Linksys didn't. In fa…

Finally got around to playing with this and thought I'd post just to let anyone else with the same kind of problem know what I did. John Strung was on the right track, it just too…
