After a Lan Party, Belkin Router won't Connect
Okay, I went to a lan party and played some AOM. Anyways, I brought my router so we could hook up, and now that I have brought it back home, it won't connect to the internet. Specifically, the Wan, Computer 1 (The socket my ethernet cord is from the router to the comp), the power, and WLAN lights are on. However, the Connnected light is not on. Weird. Anyways, I have been testing around a bit, and here is what I found.
If I bypass the router and go straight from the modem to the comp I get a good internet connection. If I switch the cables it still works (rules out bad cables). The modem shows the internet going through. When ethernet cable is not connected from computer to router, the Computer 1 light is not lit. When it is connected, the Computer 1 light IS lit. WAN light does not turn on unless ethernet cable from modem to router is connected. When I put in the install disk again into the comp, and went through the installation, it froze on the step where it tries to communicate with the router. A window then pops up where it says it cannot communicate with router. When I put the ip address I always use in internet explorer to check my router settings it cannot connect. If the cable from the modem to the router is not connected, the WAN light isn't lit. If it is, then the WAN light is lit. I repeat, no matter what I do, the connected light on the router will not light up. I have even used a unfolded safety pin to press down the reset button on the router to no avail. Thanks in Advance!

check to make sure that your router is set up to obtain ip address automatically for the WAN port. also, unplug the power cable from the modem and the router. wait 30 seconds, and plug the modem in first, make sure all of the lights are back on for normal operation on the modem, then plug the router power cable backin.

Hold the reset button in on the router while plugging the power in, and keep holding it for 20 seconds to force a hard reset on it. If that doesn't fix it, the router has died.
