for some reason my IP address is 67.160.13.219 is that normal for a Netgear router?

No it isn't. 67.160.13.219 is a public IP address belonging to Comcast which is probably your ISP The address from a router would normaly be a private address in the range 192.168.x.x. You would get a public IP address if you had a Modem plugged directly into the computer and no router. Go to a command prompt and type ipconfig /all and post back the results. Stuart

hit the factory reset button

Factory reset has nothing to do with being miscabled. beatle66 you have the cable from the modem plugged into one of the routers LAN ports. It needs to be plugged into the routers WAN port. Correct your cabling. Only other possibility is the router is set to bridge mode which I don't think Netgears support from my experience with them.

which plug is the cable one? because my cable plug is connected to the wall and T.V.

comcast provides you with a modem. So you have a fat round cable [like the one to the TV] coming from the wall to the comcast modem. Then there is a smaller RJ45 cable from modem to your router. It is this cable you have misconnected to your router. Look at your router. You should have 4 lan ports and 1 wan port. The cable from the modem to the router needs to connect to the wan port not the lan port.
