Try setting up just one pc with the router after you reset it. Check all the lights are working. make sure if you have a firewall on pc that it is off temporarily. set the machine for DHCP as this will be default on the router. If you get a LAN connection try pinging the router if not check cables. Also check the lights network card on pc. If you still can't connect see if you can send it back
hey actually i had a friend over who knows a lot about comps and we fixed it in about 3 clicks lol
