I just moved and had to set up with Comcast again, I couldn't find my old WEP key, and when I tried to reset it so i could start over. The router is a linksys befw11s4.

When we tried to get it to work (I had a more tech savvy friend help), it was discovered that apparently the modem to router connection was not getting a DNS setting that would work. When I hardwire the connection it works (that's how I'm posting), but we want a wireless network.

Because it is an old router, Linksys wants to charge $30 to diagnose it, but if that's the case, I would rather just get a new router.

Any ideas?
