Title: stupid router
Post by: Listener on March 28, 2006, 09:00:48 PM
My stupid wireless router won't connect to the internet, and it's really pissing me off.  I probably should go upstairs to make sure everything is plugged in correctly, but I'm about 99% sure it is, so posit that it is.  I get request timeouts when pinging 4.2.2.2, but the computer can talk to the router itself.  The router just won't connect to the internet.  It worked fine on Wednesday, and on Friday when I hooked it up at my parents' house.

Thoughts?

how are you getting online now?

If it's a linksys, call their tech support. They have awesome tech support and can help you fix almost anything over the phone.

We had the same problem.

We just reset the router.

Also, I'd go make 100% sure that everything is plugged in well.

Today I checked the cables, did a firmware upgrade, and reset the router, but to no avail.  I'm still using someone else's internet right now.

I may have to swallow my pride and call netgear.  I just hope the router isn't burned out because I don't want to spend $80 on a new one.

Everyone is talking about restting the router.  have you tried resetting the modem and then after a minute resetting the router?  Thats one of the most basic steps i have to walk customers through whenever they say they cant get onlilne.

IF the modem doesnt have a solid connection, then resetting the router all the time wont do diddily..

I always reset the modem when I reset the router.

I did a power cycle this morning -- unplugged the modem, unplugged the ethernet cable, unplugged the router, plugged back in the modem, plugged in the ethernet cable, plugged in the router, and when I came downstairs it worked fine.

Weird.

But nice having my full 54Mbps connection instead of the 5Mbps or less I've been getting "borrowing" from others.

I suppose I could have done that all along, but that would mean I'd have to go upstairs.

I consider myself "type 2 lazy", which means I will spend two full days rearranging a room and reorganizing its contents so everything is closer at hand when I'm done.  I used to do this at least once a year when I was still a kid living at home, moving around my furniture and reorganizing my drawers and closet.

Type 2, or "Adult Onset" lazy is quite dangerous, even though it's not the one where you have to give yourself shots.

When I was young, everyone told me I looked and acted older.  When I was 14, I was mistaken for 30 while on a SCUBA dive boat.  The woman who did it was serious; she wasn't just joking with me.

I guess I got Adult Onset Laziness earlier than normal people too.

and when he stated he wanted to sleep on top and she got excited, he meant for him on the top bunk and her on the bottom bunk..   God ole Tom Hanks.

he's got a couple years before that happens.
its just that kind of mentality that screws ya... 

I consider myself "type 2 lazy", which means I will spend two full days rearranging a room and reorganizing its contents so everything is closer at hand when I'm done.  I used to do this at least once a year when I was still a kid living at home, moving around my furniture and reorganizing my drawers and closet.

Type 2, or "Adult Onset" lazy is quite dangerous, even though it's not the one where you have to give yourself shots.

When I was young, everyone told me I looked and acted older.  When I was 14, I was mistaken for 30 while on a SCUBA dive boat.  The woman who did it was serious; she wasn't just joking with me.

I guess I got Adult Onset Laziness earlier than normal people too.

was she cute?   did ya sleep with her? and why not.....
He probably tried to, but at 14 he probably thought she really wanted to go to sleep.

and when he stated he wanted to sleep on top and she got excited, he meant for him on the top bunk and her on the bottom bunk..   God ole Tom Hanks.

She was... I remember her as having massive boobies, which for a 14-year-old is a big plus, but not terribly impressed with the rest of the package.

I was way too tired to even realize what was going on... I was on my way to the bridge of the dive boat to sit down and take a nap; after two dives (one at 100 feet and one at 40 feet) there was enough nitrogen in my blood to knock me out the moment I hit the chair.
