new wireless router
Hello I have a client that already has a wireless router, but bought a new one. I am trying to install it but it will not connect to get the ip address from verizon?

depends on the connection type, but if the client has Verizon DSL, the IP may be assigned ussing PPPoE, which requires the username and password be stored in the router to use for autrhentication with the Verizon DHCP server. Contact Verizon and determine how the IP is assigned to the client.

hello thank you for the posts. teh way the otehr router connected tio the isp was with dhcp. when I try this on the new router it does not work. I have teh mac address of teh last router how do I make this the same as the last router. if that is what i AM SUPPOSED TO DO. tHE the clients are getting there addresses from the router, but the router is not getting its iop from the isp so I can not get the clients to connect to teh ionternet., I am here now so any help would be great,. Thanks
Look for a tab or link on the web-based configuration for the router that says "MAC address". It could be referred to as "MAC address cloning".
plug a PC directly into the isp router and do an ipconfig/renew from the command line - see if the router assigns an IP to your machine - that way you know if you need to clone the old MAC.
BTW - why did you need to replace the old router? perhaps the ISP router is bad? just a thought...

if you are just trying to install the new wireless router (and there is not another router still connected), you should just be able to run through the setup wizard. most routers have a setup wizard. if there is no setup wizard, please post the router's make & model number.
