Router is playing up

Post Reply New Topic

Hey WP, I have one huge problem at the moment, basically my router is basically on the verge of dying, it just won't connect or anything and its continuous looping for hours and hours and hours.

I'm using my mobile phone as the modem at the moment and I'm really surprised how fast it's going right now, I don't know what to do right now, I feel like throwing that bleeping router out that window, is there anyway it can be fixed?

Still have the manual?

Try looking for a hole with a reset button behind it, then
turn off (unplug if you have no power strip) the modem
and the router, and push reset through the hole with a
paperclip. After that, the manual will help if you want to
secure it, but I think it should be useable if reset. It might
also be useable without resetting if you just unplug the
router and the modem, and quickly plug them back in.
(Do that while computer is off, then turn it on after a few
minutes of the modem and router being on.) If you don't
have the manual, definitely do not try the reset first
because I don't know if routers come ready to use without
setup. The router setup might be a web address in your
browser, which will be in the manual and probably need
to be done if you do reset the router.

Just do this first...
Turn off the router and modem, then turn them on again.
See if it helps.

Mine came with a CD for some reason, it came free with my internet service provider which I think if you buy it alone, it comes up to £50-75 and best of all, it's one of the best routers out there.

However everything I did just didn't work so I had to go with the reset button (I knew that).
So I had to basically press the reset button and filled in what was there before and now it works like a charm, I definitely owe you one.
It actually works even faster how it used to work so that's even better, so glad to get it fixed.

Thank you. :D
