I have no clue what happened to my router. It was working great until i noticed my Xbox Live wasn't working although my other 2 PC were connected. I tried to fix it and now none of my devices are working. I'm online using the "wired" portion of my router. So i guess i do have internet access. My phone works. I have Vonage, so why in the world is my wireless portion of my router not working? Anyone out there with any ideas?

In before reset router.

Reset your router if haven't already. Does it have a LED for the wireless network? Is it on?

 

[CabbageRed]

What? No, DO NOT reset to defaults. Not yet. Just cycle the power on the thing.

DCX, it would help if you could give us the make, model, and version of the router.

[Lhadatt]

OK. I'll look at the docs.

Please confirm that you have cycled the power on the router.

 

[DCX]

OK. When you turn the Linksys back on, does the wireless work?

Is this the one? http://linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=35&prid=662

Can you get into the status page of the router? What's the firmware version?

What kind of internet access do you have? If DSL, is the modem a PPPoE bridge, which lets the router login? Or does the modem do the logging in?

 

[DCX]

I have cable access, Road Runner. Not sure how to check the firmware version...this would be better if you could AIM chat with me or something

DCX

 

[Lhadatt]

I would, but you don't seem to be online. AIM me at Lhadatt.

Try accessing the web-based router config at 192.168.15.1. The default username/password is "admin" - fill that in for both.

Since you're on Roadrunner, I'm pretty certain that you can reset the router to defaults without getting stranded without a connection. Try that - hold in the reset button on the back for 30 seconds, then release it. Once the router comes back online, try the wireless.
