Default OT - Problem with Linksys Wireless Router



Computer is Dell E510. My wireless router is messed up. it's a Linksys
WRT54G. It jammed yesterday and now I can not access the routers page.
I tried resetting it - holding in the reset button for 30 seconds. When I
do that
the power light constantly blinks. I read that when the power light
constantly
blinks it means the software loading on it is corrupted or something. So, I
tried to
load new software but I can not access the router no matter what. I try
pinging it
and get no response.

Any ideas how to fix this? Is it junk? Could this Linksys router be
broken or something?

Thanks!

Default OT - Problem with Linksys Wireless Router

Did you try calling linksys.
I've had my router (same as yours) for 5 years with no problems.

I did have to call them once for technical support (when I bought a new
laptop) and once for a problem at 3:00 AM.

This was 4 1/2 years ago, but the support was fantastic.

If it can't be reset, it's time to e-mail or call Linksys support.

It's fixed! I chatted online with Linksys support. They had me hook up my
laptop
to the router and I was able to access the router page. It's fixed now!
