    Check to see if there are anymore open ports on the back of the router if there is then run a cat5 cable (the kind of cables coming from the router) to your computer. If it doesn't connect then normally re setting the router will make it work... push the reset button (if there is one) and turn it off for 3 min then turn back on... hope this help... im not the greatest tech guy out here :\
