What model router is it?
It is a Belkin F5D7230-4

What have you tried doing so far?

Initially I have just been running the Belkin software which will only go so far, when it gets to the part of trying to make an internet connection it falls over with an unhelpful error message.
I have just tried re-booting the STB but am still getting the amber light on the WAN indicator. I am fairly confident that if this was to go green that the problem would be solved. I have had success setting up other networks via ntl STB and think that maybe it is just a question of getting the MAC address into the Router.
I have this router,your stb ethernet cable will plug into the wlan socket on the router,the wlan light will be green the wan light is always amber.
The Belkin software is failing because it is exspecting to get a full ip and an internet connection,because the stb does not recognise the mac id of the router it will give it a 10 ip address,you will need to browse to the ntl provisioning screen to register the router with stb.Try typing start.ntl in a browser screen.
