Hi!

You need to folloow the steps below if Diag Led lights keeps on flashing overtime:

Click start then access control panel Go to Local area connection - properties - internet protocol/TCP-IP then use the IP Address: 192.168.1.50 and Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0. after these download the most recent firmware version for your router that can be downloaded from your router's manufacturer website. Restart your devices after firmware version upgrade.

Should you have any other questions just please leave a message.


Cheers~

Connect the Modem to the Router on Internet Port and the Computer to the Router on Ethernet Port1

The router probably defaulted back to its factory settings. Use your manual and reset your router back up. It may be as simple as renaming your router.

As long as the power light stays solid, then the router is fine. You need to reconfigure the router for it to receive internet connection from the modem.

Make sure the wireless device is enabled on the computer.

Unplug the router for 10 minutes, then plug it in and try it.

In none of that works, check the configuration and ensure it is "Broadcasting SSID", It won't appear in the list if it's not broadcasting.

Try to hard reset the unit. Use different power outlet and/or different power adapter with the same specs.

Was there any power flicker before it happened?

1. Reset the router by pressing the reset button of the router for 15 seconds while the power cord is plugged in and while the router is powered on.
2. Release Reset button after 15 seconds and unplug the power cord of the router then press the reset button again for 15 seconds.
3. After 15 seconds release the reset button and replug the power cord then press the reset button again for 15 seconds.

If this didn't work.
1. Plug the power cord to the router, and unplug it do this 7 times then reset for 15 seconds while it's unplugged and plug it back it and press the reset button for 15 seconds and release it. Try to check if there's any changes.

Hi Hooligan87,

I hate to state the obvious but have you tried unplugging the power and replugging it back in? If that doesnt work, you might need to reflash your firmware by downloading the lastest firmware from Linksys and doing the necessary. Alternatively, here are a few other solutions to the apprent problems you're facing, including:

1. Unplug power and wait 30 sec before plugging it back in WITH all cables attached.
2. Trying to conenct directly to the router via the "blue" cable provided by linksys to a computer's or notebook's etehrnet port. If IP address is defualt, you should be able to log into 192.168.1.1 and see settings and configurations page.
3. If that fails, since you mentioned that the power led light were still on even AFTER you pulled out the cables from the relative sockets, it seems to me like it might be a hardware fault in the router itself. This defiinitly calls for either servicing or a 1 to 1 exchange.

Hope this helps. Please do get back to me if the above steps do not work. Also, please dont forget to rate this solution if you found it helped you in any way. Thanks.
