Ok, I am new to this and I feel I am missing a step or two. I'll try to paste and comment.

Step 14 says to change the IP. I don't know what to change it to. It says to change it to one not used on my LAN. Meaning, as a gateway, it should have a different IP from the gateway IP of my router? So if its currently the default of 192.168.1.1, should my router gateway IP be 192.168.2.1, something like that?
____________
It just needs to be different from the LAN side subnet of your Linksys. 192.168.2.1 is fine. When you change it, your will need to set your PC to a static IP address on the same subnet. e.g. 192.168.2.2
____________
I am still unclear on step 14.
____________
So at this step, can I leave the actiontec on 192.168.1.1, and change my linksys IP to 192.168.2.1, and make all my PCs 192.168.2.x?
Yes, you can leave the Actiontec on 192.168.1.1, as long as the Linksys has a different subnet. This becomes the "admin" address for the Actiontec.

(mike20) At step 14, before (a), I typed in 192.168.2.1 under "IP address" and clicked on "apply." I did not change any setting for my computer yet, and I don't know how or where to do this. I was shown a screen that said something like "are you sure you want to do this? Open another browser to 192.168.2.1" I tried to do this before clicking apply, and got no connection. I tried to click apply without doing anything else, and got the 10-minute wait with no progress. What am I missing?
