Linksys Cable/DSL modem allows access to WAN |
|
|
Hi,
I have a 2-year-old Linksys cable/dsl router exhibiting odd behavior. I
made no changes. I just woke up one morning and it started doing this:
- when I run ipconfig, my PC shows an IP address assigned by my DSL
provider, rather than the usual 192.168.x.x address I assigned it via
the router
- when I hit the reset button, nothing happens
- when I power it off/on, it takes about 2 minutes before the lights
come back on
- when I try to hit the admin page via 192.168.1.1, the web browser
says it can't find the page
The lights are otherwise blinking as normal. I can still connect to the
internet through the router, as though my PC is connected directly to
the DSL port. Is my router fried? |

Sounds like the wiring has changed. You have night Gremlins.

After a wind-induced power outage, my Speedstream router gave up the
ghost. I can ping it, but the internal web server is fried, and DHCP
no longer worked. I performed a hard reset on it, and all status lights
aindicate it's fine, but it isn't.
I replaced it with a Netgear on sale at Staples for $30.

I replaced the router and all is fine. I don't know what happened to
the old one, the software just pooped overnight. Now it acts like a hub. |
