Wi-Fi Down

[SolidSnake42]

After a power outage for 3 days (this was a while ago during that big snow storm in the north east), when we got power back, my router works, but there is no Wi-Fi signal whatsoever. I checked all the settings on the Wi-Fi and everything is how it should be. I have a Linksys WRT54GL running DD-WRT (can't remember the version since I'm not at home right now). I've tried to fool around with it in the software, but would I probably have to do a hard reset of the router? Also, I would assume it would wipe DD-WRT off the machine and would have to redo ALL the settings I have?

And yes, it was perfectly fine before the power outage. And yes, this router is my main router and is still being used fine via Ethernet.

no, but it will reset your user name to root and your password to admin

Would the hard reset though actually fix the wi-fi problem?

I'd try a hard reset, and if that doesn't do it, I would say that your hardware failed either during power failure or when the power came back on.

Got it to work, had to do a hard reset, but had to re-enter in a whole lot of shit again... ugh...

have you done a config backup to a disk file on your PC? You can use that next time, to restore.
