@Kashii

Firstly, you need to find out what kind of settings are required to be done on the computer when it is plugged into the LAN directly, is it PPPoE or dynamic? Confirm this with the IT guy or your Internet Provider.

Then you can copy the same settings into the WR840N WAN. If your provider provides a PPPoE connection, follow this guide to do the same on the WR840N:

If the light does light up but it is red/orange, try this.

If this does not help either, please provide more details and pictures of your setup so we can try to help further.
