Router doesn't restart

ccureton1337 · 10-27-2007, 09:49 AM

At the end of the configuration process for a D-Link DI-514 router a screen dsplays that reads "device is restarting." According to the manual the router is suppose to restart. However it never does and the wireless connection is never made. Any ideas guys?

Try upgrading to the latest firmware, and also try a factory reset and reconfiguration.

Ive updated my firmware successfully. Still no luck connection wireless. Im not sure if it has something to do with this NetGear pc card or what? Generally after u setup and config your router, whats the next step?

You are using a wired connection, right?

Reset the router to factory defaults by holding the reset button down for 15 seconds with power on.

Turn off everything, the modem, router, computer.
Connect the modem to the router's WAN/Internet port.
Connect the computer to one of the router's LAN/Network ports.
Turn on the modem, wait for a steady connect light.
Turn on the router, wait for two minutes.
Boot the computer.

When the computer is completely booted, let's see this.

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.
