Dead Router?

[broon]

My Linksys WRT150N router won't give me an IP. I've held the reset button, pulled the power, blah blah. I've tried using a LAN cable and wirelessly.

I have another working router which I've used to eliminate the possibility of a bad cable or NIC.

How long did you hold the reset down for? Sometimes it takes up to a minute to reset to factory.

Edit:

A minute didn't work

What are the lights doing?

 

[broon]

Lights seem to be working fine. Right now it's not connected to a modem so the power is green, the port I connect the LAN cable to is green (I've tried all the ports), and the wireless light is green.

It might not be giving leases out. Have you tried resetting to factory defaults?

 

[broon]

The only way I know how to reset to factory is by holding the reset button down for 30 seconds to a minute. Which I've done. It shows up as a wireless network but I can't connect to it. When I connect with the cable there is no host and my laptop IP is 168.x.x.x

That happened to me. I bought a used Motorola WR850G, and when it came time for me to use it, I did the factory reset thing on it, and from then on, it didn't work, wouldn't give me an IP for the LAN connection, etc.

I junked it.

After reset the Router suppose to have its default settings.

Connect it to one good computer, configure manually the computer's TCP/IP to a static IP of the same subnet as thr Router's default IP.

If you can not connect the Router's menu with the browser get another Router.
