I used to have Bell Sympatico DSL Internet, and purchased a router for home networking connections. Now I have switched to Rogers cable, and I want to use my old Modem (Efficient Networks/ Speedstream 6300) for home networking. Rogers can't help me with tech support, because it is not their router, and advised me to contact Bell to see if the router was specifically set up for Bell ony. I called Bell, and they couldn't help either, of course, because I am no longer their customer.

I connected the cable to the Rogers Modem, then the modem to the LAN/ WAN port on the router, and the PC to one of the 4 ports on the router. There are only 2 lights lit on the modem: Cable and Power. The PC light is not on. When I connect the PC directly to the modem, it works fine.

Can anyone help? I don't want to buy another modem from Rogers, as I already have my own router.
