    So you are saying your wired connection is not working.

    check to make sure it is not disabled. Rt clink on the port connection and check, enable if needed. You may try disabling and re-enable it a minute later.

    Clone your Mac address of the desktop into the router WAN (ISP) setup. Should correct your problem.

    Then make sure your LAN is setup for DHCP.

    Check to see what your Gatway IP is then point your browser to "http://ipaddress", most are 192.168.1.1. This should get you to the admin section of the router. You will need to enter the admin password to get access to the settings. Defaults to most are admin;password or blank PW. Netgear prints it on the bottom of there routers. If you do not remember the pw you can reset the router to factory and all settings will be lost.
