Well, there goes the simple fix.

I would not expect "configuration knobs" on the router. There should
be configuration web pages when you open the routers address in a
web browser. http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 is the default
address, if I remember right. It is in the router manual. But it
probably does not have anything to help you with your problem.
