Need Router To Connect To Internet?

[AA]

It seems when I unplug my blue chord (Cannot remember the name sorry) which I would normally use with my router and replace it with my Ethernet cable connecting directly to my modem, I cannot connect to the internet. Also when I use the blue cable instead of the Ethernet cable for connecting directly to the modem I cannot connect. However when I go through my router to the modem I connect just fine, can anyone help?

Yes, the wires are different if you have a DSL modem. Leave it connected the way it works and enjoy.

Are the router and Modem the same brand? If so you may have an IP Address conflict, With out the modem and router model number its hard to be specific, but Go to the router config page and change the default gateway ip address to somthing like 192.168.15.1
