Try doing a hard reset on the router; there should be a button you push in on the back of the router that will reset to factory defaults. Your friend could have had some previous settings that are misconfigured for your ISP.

If you have a DSL modem and you're getting a red light on WAN, I assume you aren't getting connected. Perhaps the username, password, phone number, or something like that isn't entered correctly...?

The point of routers is to connect for you, so unless you have a plain modem, I suspect you will have to log in though the router some how...

it could also be that you have a conflict somwhere. you may find that the problem is coming from the wireless router, not your broadband connection. make sure that the wireless router is set to be routed to the modem.

you probably already know this but never the less make sure.
