The router and the laptop is connected bu\y wires, before trying to connect the laptod to the router, this is the basic troubleshoooting process, first, check your LAN card / modem if ther are working properly and enabled. You can check the status of the device on the Device Manager.

If they are enabled, please enable them to on the Network Connections window (you can check that by opening the control panel and then network connections).

Make sure that the cables are not loose too. Loose cables sometimes are the cause of no connectivuty issues.

If you were able to obtain an IP address already, then try to connect to the router again.

Also, a good suggestion would be calling LinkSys Support too.

Hope this helps.
