If I connect the cable modem directly to my laptop, internet connection is fine. This combination worked fine for several years, recently I have lost the internet light on the router along with the internet access. I have a cable modem and linksys WRT54GX4 router. try to connect it will ask u for 10 dig same password. search for wireless signals u will find the name that u have give. and select security mode as WEP and rest of the settings as it is then enter 10digit numeric password in Key 1 box. then got to wireless security tab bleow black strip on blue strip. go to wireless tab then u can change the SSID Name to anything of ur choise and save it. then try to open the page through ur internet Explore using 192.168.1.1, username : (blank ) Password : admin. if still not going through, reset the router bu pressing the reset button for 30 sec that is located at the back of linksys router.

So just try this out, connected modem to internet port and pcs to port 1,2 and try to open the setup of router by 192.168.1.1. It seems ur not able to enter in the setup page by 192.168.1.1, and u say that u have 2 pcs and modem connected to ethernet. Now u jest need to connect your laptop and printer to this new secured wireless network using the security key and I am damn sure it will work.
