NetGear router-no lights

It depends. Have you checked the Netgear support site for FAQ and the manual. In some routers, orange lights indicate wired 100Mbps connections while green indicates 1000Mbps. In other cases, blinking lights indicated that the router is 'bricked'.

May be the MAC id of the computer must be released by your service provider

Unfortunatly, if it won't even power up anymore, there no way to even diagnose what the problem might have been. sorry to say, but i think it may be time for a new router.

Intermittent wireless connection can be caused by different factors, such as:

1. Wireless interference within the network. For best results, place your router:
- near the center of the area in which your computers will operate.
- in an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected computers have line-of-sight access (even if through walls).
- away from sources of interference, such as microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones.
- away from large metal surfaces.

2. Wireless settings on the router are still set to default. This may cause conflict with other Netgear routers within your network range.
- change the router's SSID or wireless network name.
- change the router's channel.
- enable wireless security on the router.

3. If the wireless connection is still unstable after performing the steps above, it is possible that the firmware is corrupted. Upgrade the router's firmware.

Hi,

Please note that the tick light turns on only when the router is doing a self test. If it is on then that means the router is either faulty or doing a self test. If the router is working fine then the tick light should be off.

Call NETGEAR. Try this also http://technicalsupport.blog.friendster.com

Access router. What does it say? did you set up the wireless network yourself? Is the cable modem working properly? Rebooted it? Is there a problem with the internet provider?

hi ,
i went through the problem that u r telling me nut i think that the router has gone bad so u can call customer care of ur router and they will replace ur router .....

Double-click on the LAN icon on the bottom right by your clock and go to the IP that is shown for your default gateway. That will take you to your router, than just manually reset everything.

when the lights on a router fail to work, this means that the router has gone bad. In some cases like yours, the router went bad. You have to concider that the router is always transmitting a wireless signal 24 hours a day. My option to you is to get a new router that is better and longer lasting. I have a linksys WRT300N and it is the best on I have ever used. (I also used netgear and belkin)
