I think My router is dead

[Big Booger]

I don't know what happened. Yesterday I opened some ports up in my router to allow passive connections to connect to my FTP server. The next thing I know, my router is no longer functioning. I tried unplugging it, tried resetting it, tried connecting to it with 3 different NICs, and a wireless connection. I cannot get into the Router internal configuration. I tried several times to get to the setup site. It just doesn't work.

I am considering my options. Seeing as I spent about $300 US less than a year ago on it, I am seriously hoping the router comes with a warranty to cover this..

IF not, I guess I will be going to get another.. though I really do not want to do that!

:D

Anyone have any ideas? I have tried to ping the router config address. I have tried repeatedly to get connected through Internet Explorer. I even reformatted my HDD thinking it could have been a virus... nothing seems to have worked.

:(

The power leds are working fine. When I unplug the router, it shuts off, and when I plug it back in, the leds blink on like normal, but it would seem that something has stopped me from accessing the router configuration.

It could be that the internal address of the router, has been changed, but I checked the manual and there is nothing about a secondary address listed :(

If you have any suggestion, I am all ears..

[Big Booger]

That sir is a damn fine idea. I will give that a go as soon as I return home!

Bravo for that one. :D Will let you know how it goes. Now I just hope they have listed a firmware update on the IO/DATA site :p

I just hope it helps, that happened to my router, once, forl iek 1 weeek straight then i gave it a update qand it actualy worked, all lights were working, after the flash but the @zz's threw a AOL thing on it so i went huntign fora new Firmware, thankfully 2 daysc after thier realse they released another that got rid of that aol parental cxontrol lol,!

[Big Booger]

Well, it was short lived..
What I mean is this, and this is very funny,
in order to flash the router, I have to get into the router properties.. now isn't that hilarious... ;D

So now I cannot even flash the firmware... that is just my luck!

[shadow_warez]

well the lniksys iste i got my firmware had a seprate program to flash the router if i had such a prob thier was a seprate app and flashed it from a file, i loaded in manually, simply browsed for the bin file and hit flash,

Have you tried hitting the reset button :D

[Big Booger]

Hit the reset button about 4 times.. didn't work.

Just got it back, works great. No word on what they did... :( It was under warranty so no charge :D

Works great. :p
