Linksys Router on Cox internet

[Zorba]

I've tried this a few of times and it doesn't work.

I have linksys Wireless DSL/Cable router BEFW11S4 and motorla Surfboard SB5120 cable modem. The router was my girlfriend's and is about 3 years old. I have followed the instructions to setup the router on Cox given my linksys and it still doesn't work. I have also updated to the latest firmwire on the router.

When Iplug the modem into the router none of the WAN lights come on at all (Yes I am plugging it into the WAN port). For laughs I plugged the modem into one of the other ports and I got all the connection lights. Is it possible to have a fried WAN port or do you think my problem is something else?

I've tried two different cables, both of which work just fine if I connect them from my modem to my computer.

I've also power cycled the modem and router.

If you have reset the router, than it is indeed a bad router
