router not working since I replaced my cable modem

I have an old Netwave base by Blitzz and I just had my cable company
change my modem now I can't access the internet through my wireless
router. My computer recognizes the router - it says the strength is
excellent but it doesn't work. Could it have something to do with the
new modem? Is there something I need to do?

Hi,
Does wired connection work?

No it doesn't.

Modem: RCA DCM 425 for Time Warner Cable in NYC
Router: Blitzz Netwave Base G4 model BWA611

Try powering everything down, then:

Power up the cable modem, wait for the lights to stop flashing
Power up the router, wait for the lights to stop flashing
Power up the computer, "

Many cable modems lately will only talk to the first MAC address they
see.

[Temporarily] connect your computer directly to your cable modem and
see if that works. If not, get the cable company to properly
configure your new modem.

I got my computer to work when plugged directly into the cable box but
it still doesn't work with the router.

Then (if the power sequencing thing in my last missive didn't help)
you'll need to clone the MAC address from your computer into your
router. See your router documentation for details on how to do that.

Does the router have a firewall built in? If so turn it off.

How would I know if the router had a firewall built in?

Look, instead of giving me wise-ass remarks, why not just tell me if
going out and buying a new router will fix this problem. I've already
lost a day and a half trying to fix this thing and yes I've read the
manual and it says nothing about a f'n firewall. It's a 4 year old
router that worked fine up until I got this new modem. I thought there
might be an easy fix that other's have experienced, I guess that's not
the case. I just don't want to buy a new modem and have the same
problem.

I'll tell you though Navas, nothing annoys me more than when a wise-ass
hijacks a thread with a condescending, flippant remark when others are
earnestly trying to help someone out.
