Wireless Router=Evil!

I want to shank my Netgear wireless router. I realize that would not be wise but it would feel good in the moment lol. All I want is wireless internet-is that too much to ask? My Comcast modem works just fine but who wants to be forced to sit in one spot because they have to plug crap in? No one that's who. And Comcast is plug crazy because they charge $150 for the installation. Seriously, it should not cost that much to plug in a few wires and type some stuff in. I've set up a wireless router before in college and it only took a couple of mins, it was easy peasy. So naturally I was not going to have my mom pay that ridic installation fee and opted to do it myself.

 I set up everything but when I go to connect to my wireless network it says I have excellent signal strength but no internet access...que??? I tried redoing it, Googling answers, and even resorted to Comcast customer service. Lil miss Kristine-if that's her real name, of course gave me the obvious solutions that any common sense person w/ reading skills would try.  So now my last resort is calling Netgear customer service. If that doesn't work...Step1) I'll ave a conniption. Step 2) return router Step 3) get a linksys router which I setup & used w/ Comcast in college and works perfectly fine. But hopefully it won't come to that lol
