i have a linksys wired router befsr41 that all of a sudden stopped recognizing the modem. i can plug the lap top right into the modem andit works fine. the router shows tat it is communicating with the network but does not show a signal from the modem. the modem however does show a connection to the router
i tried: - another cat5 cable - resetting the router - resetting the modem all the linksys sites are down this morning so i am unable to download their troubleshooting tutorial. any help would be appreciated. or i could just get the snowblower out, clear the driveway and go to compusa and get another router! thanks in advance. |

Well, if it were me, I would buy a Netopia R910 for your house. Unless you need to pass IPX/SPX packets then you would get a R9100 as it is a multi protocol router. I have them at all my clients and the VPN capabilities are great. A little more difficult to set up than a Linksys but once set, you never have to worry about it. Did you reset the router back to factory defaults? Are you on Cable or DSL? If you are on DSL, you may want to check your PPPOE configuration.
