Two or more wired connections?

[CSQRD]

Just opened my $200 router and bam can't set it up.. was reading about flashing it but have no idea where that is. Tried the reset mode but it won't go into it. I've got a ton of work to get done and this is not helping. I bought it from Fry's and had it on a shelf, unopened, for a month now am unable to return it. I was excited about a new piece of Asus tech but now not so sure. Please advise..

When I installed the utility it keeps saying tht there are two wired connections. Which is physically impossible.

Did you disconnect the router you are replacing?

Did you disconnect all your cables from your modem and reboot your modem, removing the battery if it has one?

I shut down everything on my network and my computer. Shut down and removed my old router. Removed all cables from my modem. Rebooted my modem. Turned off my modem. Connected RT-AC66U to my compter via LAN. Connected RT-AC66U to my modem. Turned on my modem and waited for internet light. Turned on computer. Turned on the router. Then I connected or turned on each of my network devices one-by-one and it was a breeze. Set mine up following instructions in the manual for Bridge Mode.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm a moron lol. When I finally walked away and took a break it dawned on me.. MY VIRTUAL MACHINES were still using the adapters. All I had to do is disable them and there you go. Well live and learn DOH!

Glad you got it sorted. Walking away for a few usually helps.
