Hi, I have this Asus router rt-n56u which i recently bought, when I try to set this up by connecting my internet cable to the wan port of the router and an another ethernet cable from the router's lan port to my pc, I see there is an activity between the lan port of the router and the PC but none on the wan port, my ISP has only provided me with the cable and the IP settings, no modem.

After this when I try to access the web interface by typing the 192.168.1.1 in the browser, I receive error messages the I'm not connected to any network, so I can't even configure my wifi also, I have followed all the steps mentioned in the manual of the router:
A. Disable the proxy server, if enabled.
B. Set the TCP/IP settings to automatically obtain an IP address.
C. Disable the dial-up connection, if enabled.

Please help me set this thing up, could the wan port been kaput or is just some setting or method issue.

Thanks & Regards,

if I plug my ISP ethernet cable to my computer directly, I have no problem accessing the internet. However, when I plug the computer into the router and the router into the ISP cable, my computer can't get on the internet. I know the router is functioning because I can access it using my android phone, and I can go to 192.168.1.1 and make changes to the router. On my computer, I can't even access 192.168.1.1.

When the computer is plugged into the router, the only IP address they receive is some slug address (169.254.xx.xx) that does not work. Windows 7 reports that the computer is plugged into an "Unidentified Network.":confused:
 
Ok, the WAN port problem is resolved by placing a switch before the router, so now the connection is like this: ISP > Switch > router > devices (Only wifi). But if iconnect my PC to the router through RJ45 cable, I still get the unidentified network....any guesses???
