It's not working, I'm on dial up at the mo.:(
Got up this morning and the power supply wasn't working. Got a new supply, the power light comes on, the LAN lights come on. the 'sync' 'data' and 'wlan' lights don't come on. the pc and laptop say that a network cable is unplugged, there isn't. Occassionally all the lights flash on as though it's trying to start but it don't. Any ideas.?

Hi sparkyminer,

I had a similar problem, I used a biro to press a reset button at the back of my router, (small hole, I guess a paper clip might have fitted). After this reset, it worked fine.

Good luck with it.

Tried that mate, that didn't work either.
I've fixed it. There's nowt wrong with the router. The power supply I bought this morning was 500mA regulated output, the router takes almost 2.5 times that amount of current and because the power supply was regulated protected etc it just kept shoving it's half amp out gamely trying to supply the router, I 've been and got a bigger power supply and here we are.
Thanks for the suggestions chaps.:)

Have you tried a bigger power supply?
