Use the reset button on the back of the unit and reset it back to defaults

[pedroguy]

And hold the button in for at least 15 seconds

[dannyboy01]

Reset the router to factory defaults by holding the reset button down for 15 seconds with power on. The following procedure should get you a connection with any broadband modem that is configured to use DHCP for the router connection, such as cable modems, and many DSL modems. If you require PPPoE configuration for the DSL modem, that will have to be configured to match the ISP requirements.

• Turn off everything, the modem, router, computer.
• Connect the modem to the router's WAN/Internet port.
• Connect the computer to one of the router's LAN/Network ports.
• Turn on the modem, wait for a steady connect light.
• Turn on the router, wait for two minutes.
• Boot the computer.

When the computer is completely booted, let's see this.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD (COMMAND for W98/WME) to open a command prompt:

NOTE: For the items below in red surrounded with < >, see comments below for the actual information content, they are value substitutions from the previous command output!

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands one at a time, followed by the Enter key:

IPCONFIG /ALL

PING <computer_IP_address>

PING <default_gateway_address>

PING <dns_servers>

PING 206.190.60.37

PING yahoo.com

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter to copy the contents to the clipboard.
Paste the results in a message here.

<computer_IP_address> - The IP Address of your computer, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.

<default_gateway_address> - The IP address of the Default Gateway, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.

<dns_servers> - The IP address of the first (or only) address for DNS Servers, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

Now try the other pings to the address previous requested. Obviously, you're connected to the router.

[dannyboy01]

Sorry how do you mean?

[pedroguy]

PING 206.190.60.37

PING yahoo.com

[dannyboy01]

I think now is the time to enter the router's web based setup at 192.168.1.1 and configure the WAN interface. My guess is you need to enter your account details, name/password, and type of connection, normally PPPoE.

[dannyboy01]

thanks for all this help john, urmm on the web setup page the WAN setting does not have these options..just check boxes..only place u get account info available is "setup wizard" and basic setup and i cant see anything involving the wan in basic setup?

[JohnWill]

If you check PPPoE, more boxes will open up for name and password of the account. It has to have those options.

[dannyboy01]

yes your right, finally got it router is connecting fine now!! thank god for that lol..thanks for all the help on here guys

very much appreciated!
