HELP Linksys DEAD?

Just got back from vacation and my linksys router seems to have died somehow while gone? Had both computer turned off and when I fired them back up, no internet or network connection? tried resetting router with the reset button and turning it off a few times, still nothing? only a flashing yellow light above the #1 on the 100 marker. I can bypass the router and the internet works on the main computer. anyone have any ideas, what could have happened? any way to futher test it, can't hit the setup page 192.168.1.1 Thanks,

Morris, I had the same problem a few times. So I called tech support and must of gotten a newbie. He told me that my router had died and that they would replace it if I had my reciept. Naturally, I lost it months ago as the router was nearly a year old at that point. I unplugged the power for a few minutes, then plugged it back it in. Reset the router, but I head the button in for a full min even after it reset. It started working just fine after that.

Was the router or cable modem still plugged in? I had a storm pass through here about a week ago, had the puter shut off but my cable modem and router were still plugged in to regular outlet, lightening hit close by, took out both my network card and my linksys router. Guess I was lucky that was all it did.

Unplug the router for a minute or so. I've had the same thing happen before. -- Fester

If you can't hit the setup page, it most likely is indeed dead. Try holding that reset switch for 15 seconds. That performs a hard reset, which is different from the normal reset. -Larry "Morris Jones" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3d2753de$[email hidden]... > Just got back from vacation and my linksys router seems to have diedsomehow > while gone? > Had both computer turned off and when I fired them back up, no internet or > network connection? > tried resetting router with the reset button and turning it off a fewtimes, > still nothing? only a flashing yellow light above the #1 on the 100marker. > > I can bypass the router and the internet works on the main computer. > > anyone have any ideas, what could have happened? any way to futher testit, > can't hit the setup page 192.168.1.1 > > > Thanks, > >

Morris, I had a similar stuation recently, I was away when a thunder/lightning storm came thru, when I got home, my Linksys was dead just as you descrbed, the wan port was apparently blown out. Even tho my router was over a year old and technically out of warranty, Linksys recommened I return it for evaluation, and my router was subsequently repaired and returned for free!! Cost me shipping only, so I was a pretty happy camper....if i ever need to, you can bet I'll buy from them again. Was about a 10 day turn-around.
