Question about Linksys A+G WRT55AG Wireless Router

Lights not lit on router??!! Brand new!

Hi...I just purchased a Linksys WRT55AG router, and i've gone through the whole set-up process, which seemed pretty basic, but nothing is happening. Nothing is lit on the router, not the power light...nothing. I thought that the problem might be in the power cord or outlet, but i tested both and both are working properly. Is this a faulty router?? I'm so frustrated!

i have set up wireless before with no problem, and this was a pretty basic set-up. i double checked everything, and still no luck. guess i'm just gonna return it. i'm just questioning if i should return it for another linksys, or get a different brand.

actually, that is me in the picture, but i didn't mean to post it. apparently i had right-clicked and copied it from something and accidentally put it up....yes, i'm a moron! OH! i know what i was doing...i was trying to get the pic in the little box like yours is beside your name. i couldn't see mine, but i'm thinking that maybe it only shows on the replies, not the questions?? Anyways...sorry again! I did get my new router in though. yay! this one actually works!

Most probably a faulty router. I recommend DLink as we have had about a 50% failure rate with Linksys in the past 6 months.

As long as you have connected your powered up modem to the rear port of the router and set it up firstly through the RJ45 cable and it is plugged in, then the power light should be on, if no power light then nothing is going to set up, so as long as you know you have followed the instructions, it must be a faulty unit, but go through everything again, as you may have missed something; as we all do at times.

According to the manual, you can purchase any wireless router (manual calls the router "air base")

I would advise a D-link or a Linksys router.

My linksys a + g wrt55ag wireless router is having problems : It keeps restarting on its own every few seconds. ( lights go on then after like 2-3 sec it restarts and does it all over. I tried reseting it...

Try to upgrade the firmware of the router.
Is there any computer connected to the router with the cable.
If not then you will need to connect the computer to the router.
Download the firmware of the router from the manufacturer's website.
enter the model number. select proper version number and download the firmware of the router.
Once you download the firmware, you will need to open the router set up and upgrade the firmware of the router.
After upgrading the firmware, it is recommended that you reset and reconfigure the router.

WRT55AG router- wireless lights blink on and off and no ethernet?

If you plug in computers on the ethernet ports and they dont light up at all but you are sure that the cables that you are using works as well as the ethernet port on your computer that means that the unit is already defective. You can contact 8003267114 for replacement if its under warranty
