Network, Internet, or Base Station Management Tool Are Unavailable

Hi,
As you have reset your base station, reconfigure it again after connecting it to your PC via cable. There you can configure wireless settings and WEB key encryption settings. Then delete the old connection settings present in your PC via network connections window and try connecting your PC via wifi as a new connection.
I hope this is helpful to you
Thanks
