I lost my wireless connection, how do I get it back?

Interesting question but I cannot answer it completely without a make and model of the router. Try these links:

1) does it lock up completely or will it work hard lined when wifi fails?
2) do all devices wireless fail or just a single device?
3) do you lose connection to the wireless completely or keep the connection but lose access to the internet? (confusing but very different to me)

in the end you could narrow down the problem but if you have already reset to factory defaults and set back up again and again then it may be time to retire that old router.

Did you update your router lately?

I suggest to update the firmware but also a reset will be fine before the update.Here is a link to update your device,but you need your router hardware version.

If you are still experiencing normal internet connection then this blinking is normal. If you have lost connection to the internet then first thing to try is to unplug your modem and router for a minute and then plug them back in.
From time to time static can build up in the connection and you can lose the connection. Restarting the modem and router will reset that connection.

Resetting your means that all information will be lost
you will need to configure your router again as you did when you first bought it

If you have lost the password to access the router page then you have to reset the router

Ensure that you have all the details regarding your internet connection before resetting the router

If you reset the router you can run the smart setup wizard and get connected by entering correct information in all the pages of the wizard

If you are looking for the wireless password:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Access your router page ( Open Internet Explorer --> Type 192.168.1.1 and enter it--> Login name(default)-admin, Password(default)-password) --> GO to wireless settings,under Wireless settings you will find the wireless password.

try reset wireless settings
or reset to defaults and use a wpa2 Encript security.

in the back there should be a small button you need a pen to click. Try to hit that. It will reset all settings of the router. It will be like you jsut took it out of the box. Any settings you made will be lost.

Three options here:

The first time you connect using most cable services, you may be required to register your computer to their service, which includes entering a password they give you. That may have interfered with your first attempt by not allowing your router to connect to the internet to obtain a public IP address form the cable modem.

If it's not the cable company's fault, the user manual that came with the router will also have the default user name and password listed there. Try using that in case it has been reset somehow.


If you still cannot get past the username/password prompt, then you can simply log into the router as before, and choosing to reset the router back to factory settings. Then you will be able to set it up again from the beginning.

It sounds like the router went bad and your need to get a new one
