    Do you know if your wan connection is functional. For example can you connect a computer directly to the modem and get working internet? Does your modem have a static or DHCP addressing?

    Do you have an IPv4 policy set up to allow traffic to flow from the internal port that your laptop is connected out through the WAN port that your router is connected?
