    Router Not connecting


    After I had to use ATT tech support to get my dsl working again.. which they did , by doing a re-set of my dsl modem.

    Now my router won't connect.
    I see security icon, light bright green,
    I see wired icon bright green,
    I see router icon, bright green,
    I see a flashing icon for my modem flashing red.
    The internet icon is doing NOTHING at all.

    I've tried unplugging the router completely, all night .. then rebooting.. after reconnecting the power cord, the router cable and the DSL cable.. so far I'm just stuck as to what I should do next.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried replacing the line filter?

    The reset button on the router might be worth while to push and hold it for 30 seconds.

    You might need to go into the routers set up page to make sure everything is set up correctly, enable DHCP, set up the wireless connection variables like creating and SSID, setting up the wireless password, setting up the security like WPA2, and the encryption, AES is usually best.

    The problem is that I have no idea what kind of router or connection this is?

    I'd also need to see a screen shot of the ipconfig/all to determine the default gateway which will get you access into your routers set up page.

    Hi .. I have no idea what the line filter is > I have 3 lines connected to the router.. a almost New Power Line...DSL line.. router line..
    I do recall when the tech support person was helping me to get reconnected to my dsl service, I was ask to reverse the dsl line from the pc to to the modem.
    This is a Belkin Enchanced Wireless RouterModel F6D4230-4v1.
    Thanks for your reply.

    Chev. hi.. I have a snap of all the settings on this router.. It's a Belking as noted in the message above.
    I have the WPA2 set up..DHCP . SSID are all set up , as is my personal wireless password , the AES is set up , it's set up extremely secure.. by the guys here at W7F.. when I first bought it.I think I recall being told.. my pc cannot be seen on line at all from these settings.
    I'll be more than willing to share this snap .. however it shows my personal info. which I hope to keep these setting.. since I use them for my laptop.. along with 2 tablets.
    Thanks for your reply.

    Hey guys.. here's the link to my Original Router Help thread when I ask for help setting it up.
    I searched and found this.
    Hope it's helpful.

    The problem is that once you unplug the router for any great length of time it will lose it's original settings.

    Most likely you just need to go into the routers set up page and redefine the wireless settings again. :)

    I always keep a configuration file handy for times like this. I can just go to tools/system in my routers set up page and load up the configuration file and the routers settings are all restored. Most firmware's have this capability.

    Chev hello.. I have a snap of my settings , like they were originally set up with my password.. my name for my router.. etc..( the icon near my clock when I'm connected with the router to Windows XP , Windows 7 laptop.. and my 2 tablest.)
    I have 4 screens .. showing all the router settings.
    I just do NOT know how to do this again without help.
    I did do the restet as you suggested,, it doesn't seem to have halped any.

    The problem is that I have no idea what kind of router or connection this is?

    I do have the completed 4 screen setting as set using a name for my router..the best settings to secure my router..password and all the others things WPA, I can see down near my clock.. on Windows XP.. (it's wired ).. Windows 7 , the 2 tablets are WI-FI.. when these are all connected.. I do NOT connect all at the same time.
    I just don't know how to get into those setting and make any changes .. I did follow the people prompting me to get this all set up . It worked until this week when I had ATT tech support to get me connected after something caused my ISP to not connect.
    Thanks for your help on this.

    I really need to see a screen shot of the ipconfig/all in order to have an idea about what's going on here. Just type ipconfig/all into an Elevated Command Prompt and then hit enter. :)

    Sample in the picture.
