Problem for 2wire Routers

Generic problem for all 2wire Routers

Only the power light is on.

By russellboe on Aug 12, 2009

" "

No lights are on except power light. I know our internet is active but the wireless and ethernet lights will not come back on.

- I called our internet service provider. They told me that because the light is the red, the router is dead. Does that sound right? Thanks...

double check your cables and replace if needed with a good cable connected from your modem to the wan port you should get an active light on your router. If you don't get activity with a good cable the router may be pooched or the power supply for the router is dying.

- Yes I would agree with them. if you are going to get a new router consider spending a little more and getting one with wireless "N" more equipment is emerging for this higher speed and if you already have it you can take advantage of it. Also most of the "N" routers seem to give better coverage with regular wireless (dont know why but its what i have found so far)
