LAN ports not working

I have a netgear DG834G v2 router. The wireless connection is working fine, but the LAN ports are not. The LEDs for all the LAN ports are all on, regardless of whether a computer is connected to them or not. If a computer is connected, the computer LAN settings appear as disconnected. My router has been working okay. The problem appeared after the router had been powered off for a number of days.

Make sure that the local area connection in the computer is enabled and that the drivers of the ethernet adapter are working properly.

try to reset the router by pressing the reset button for 30 seconds then if the problem still persist then that means the router should be replaced already.

How to put back internet browser?

Do you mean you want to restore the Netgear wireless router back to the factory defaults?
If so then :-
Power up the Netgear wireless router and use a sharp point and
press and hold the RESET button on the back of the router until the LEDs flash then release the button.
Then connect a LAN cable from the computer to the Netgear wireless router, then open IE browser and enter the configuration IP address, login and configure the wireless settings ie. SSID, encryption etc.
Take a note of these settings and configure the wireless cards in the computers with the router's settings.
Remove the LAN cable, the computers will now communicate with the wireless router.

Netgear connection

is that wired connection or wireless? if it is wired, checked the cable and the port, make sure that the LAN connection is enabled.

if it is for wireless, checked the wireless settings of the router, enable the wireless card of the wireless computer and, verify the wireless settings of the netgear adapter and from there connect to it.

All LAN Ports are ON

Arunk, When you say the electrical characteristics of the new A/C adaptor are the same as the old one did you check to ensure the amperage and the polarity of the power plug is the same as well?
