Hey, I have a linkysys wrt54g router, and it obviously isnt working. All the lights are blinking, and the Diagnostic light is staying on. Anyone familiar with this issue?

Man, routers are a pain. I've known four of them in my short life and they all had problems. Big problems. Have you tried resetting it? Or just turning it off and then on again? |

I have the same router, have had the exact same problems. Flakier than a box of wheaties. Either you need to reset, or update the firmware. |

I do maintence on this one woman's computer at my church and the number one problem with her wireless network is the wireless router. usually, a reset fixes it. off, wait about half a minute, then on again. ------------------ |

No, I tried all that. We had to go buy a new one. Resetting, unplugging, leaving it for long periods of time that way, didnt work. I think somebody I knew tried to execute a buffer overflow exploit and corrupted the firmware. I couldn't even update the firmware because my PC wouldn't recognize the LAN connection now. Oh well. ------------------ |

lol, that is true. they bought them. http://newsroom.cisco.com/dlls/corp_060203.html tell me if I'm wrong, tho, but doesn't cisco make bigger switches and stuff, like for companies? I have a switch by netgear( it think.. looks like a netgear box, but it has no name on it. haha. been too long to remember). ------------------ |
