I have a Netgear WGR614 router, it worked great for about 7 months then because of a storm predicted I unplugged it (but I've done that before), now the router's internet light stays orange and I can't get on the net with it. On my PC it says I'm connected when I click the icon (but I'm not, I cant get anywhere) the icon's not blinking like it should. I'm only able to get online with my ethernet cable running across my living room to where it's plugged into my fiberwire/dsl box thats installed under a window and everyone including me keeps tripping on the cable nor can other PC's be used at the same time now. What can I do to fix my router so it'll work again?
I understand that you were not able to get help with the previous solution.
Here is a way to reset the router
Look behind the router where the cables are connected
You will find a hidden button which is the reset button
Push and hold it for 1min using a paper clip
Then follow this link to get help to update the settings on the router

NOTE: Have all details related to your ISP.
Since you have a PPPoE connection you will definitely have a username and password
Have these details and follow the instructions in the file form the link

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer me. Unfortunately your suggestions didn't help, the site you gave me just took me to the products page after a web search I found the site but it ends with .com not .net and nowhere is there a button to disconnect & connect there...unless you meant on my PC? As for reconfiguring I have no idea how to, my ISP's tech guy had to set it up for me which even he had a hard time with after I tried for days by myself & with Netgear's tech support on the phone, heavy accents I could barely understand them....they were no help at all. I did find on the site that the settings could of been saved to a folder for backup...why didn't the tech guy do that? I wish I had known about it then. Now my ISP refuses to help me saying that they don't support 3rd party routers and act like their tech guy never helped me. Instead they're telling me to buy their expensive router which they will support. I have a perfectly good router that just needs to be reset and reconfigured somehow and refuse to pay money I don't have to them.I switched to them back then and have had nothing but problems.
If anyone can please tell me how to do a reset & reconfigure my router I'd really appreciate it...and now I know about backing up my settings if I can get to that point. I have PPPoE and use XP....I have wireless on all the PC's in my house. The disc that came with it is useless, it didn't help me then nor now. This should be easy, I'm usually good with tech stuff but this? I'm about ready to pull my hair out!
Thank you so much Danny! I got it working again YaY! I really appreciate your help....couldn't of done it without you. :O)
