is connected to the Internet and online or the wizard will not work. If you have disconnected any hardware, 
re-connect your computer back to the modem and make sure you are online.

o your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable to the Internet port on the router, 
and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your ISP to change connection types 
(USB to Ethernet).
3.  If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as 
WinPoet, Broadjump, or Enternet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.
4.  A minimum of two PowerLine AV devices are required to create a Powerline network.
5.  Use  Router  Mode  if  you are  replacing  an  existing  router  or  want to  share  an  Internet  connection  with 
multiple Ethernet, wireless, and PowerLine clients; or use Access Point (AP) Mode if you want to connect 
wireless clients  (such as  laptops,  tablets,  smartphones, and  media players) to  your  wired  network (via  a 
router or switch).
