WE HADA A POWER OUTAGE AND NOW THE WIRELESS IS NOT WORKING AND THE LIGHT ON ROUNTER DOES NOT COME ON

Possibly the power outage caused your modem to reset. The wired connection would still work. first thing I would try is to reset the modem with the reset button, login to the management console and put in your network name and password again.

In resetting router it is like setting it back to its factory default. what you need to do is just access the GUI where you can set up the Username and password. Once done with it you may be able to connect to the internet.

If you can still remember the password that you entered on the configuration page, follow the steps below:
1. In the lower right corner of your screen (near the time and date), right click on the wireless network connection icon, then select view available wireless networks. Or, if your wireless adapter has its own wireless utility, you should see that in the lower right corner of your screen.
2. You should see the router's wireless network name (SSID). By default, the SSID is "belkin54g". Select the SSID and it will prompt you for the network key.
3. The network key is the password that you entered on the router configuration page.

If you cannot remember the password that you entered, follow the steps below.
a. Connect your computer to the router using an ethernet cable.
b. Access the setup page by typing 192.168.2.1 in the address bar.
c. Go to Wireless -> Security. Copy the network key.
d. Then follow steps 1-4 above.

For the MAC computer:
1. From the Airport menu, select the SSID.
4. When asked for a password, enter the network key that you entered on the router.

I hope this helps!

Make sure that your computer is able to go online through the modem.
If your computer is not able to go online through the modem then you will need to call ISP first.
If your computer is able to go online through the modem
then you need to connect the computer to the router and the modem to the router.
open the set up page of the router and change the settings of the router according to the ISP.

Do all the lights illuminate??? If not check the plug connections.
If still no go buy new unit / take back under warranty and dont disclose the power outage.

Hi Friend

I hope this will work for you. There is a RESET button on every router. Just push and hold that RESET button for 30 seconds. After that release the button and unplug the power cable from back of the router and wait for another 30 seconds. After that plug it back and wait until the power light becomes solid and steady. Now your router is unlocked.

Enjoy

router might have taken a pwr surge when electric was restored.

Netgears are NOTORIOUS for this. If a hard reset didn't fix it, the one where you hold the red button down for like 30 seconds then it is gone. I have replaced SO MANY of these. The first thing that went on them was the wireless and they did have tons of complaints on this at one time as well.
Get a Linksys rounter, I have hardly EVER had any problems with them and they are now owned by Cisco, even better.
