have a router but it will notconnect to inter

What is the model number of this router? A router alone will not get you connected to the Internet. You also need a Modem or a router that has a built in Modem. Routers with built in Modems are usually ADSL. Cable normally has a separate Router/Modem, Which are you on, cable or DSL.. Stuart
