Linksys WRT54G computer doesn't see router

My Linksys WRT54G v. 3.0 has a blinking power light. I read on Linksys' site that I should update the firmware. Unfortunately, my computer isn't even seeing the router.

My modem is connected to the router, and my computer is connected through one of the router's ports, but when I ping 192.168.1.1 I'm getting a time out.

All my computer can see is the modem. It's like I'm not even connected to the router.

Any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks for any and all help.

Can you access Internet?
If not, your PC may not be configured right. Check your TCP/IP settings.
Make it auto to botain an IP automatically.
Check also other pc's TCP/IP settings to tell what's the right settings for your network.

If you can access internet, this mean that you have an IP which is different from your modem IP range. Thus you're considered to be in a different network and can't access modem's page or ping to it.

Regards
