the spec says

ADSL or Cable Internet Service and modem with Ethernet connection

so it's a repeater router not an all-in-one

you should have bought a router which included an adsl modem

Are you on cable or ADSL, and do you have a separate modem? Also - this might sound stupid - but is the router powered up when the main computer is turned off?
