Oh, and have the router on, I assume? I had it unplugged, I'll retry later.
Ok, so I'm more of a software person than a hardware person. That being said, I think my wireless router has gone out. It's a Linksys bought around 2007-8. It is throwing a signal, but there is no internet with it, and it is not sending the internet through the hard line to the desktop either. I just got a new Samsung Galaxy 2 tablet and I'm TICKED that I can't use it to its full potential in my own home.
My question, is this fixable or should I just buy a new one? (assume I'm smart enough to have replaced all the ethernet cables and power source)
Also, if anyone would like to donate a router that they are no longer using, I may know a guy interested in it.

Actually, I'd advise him to avoid Cisco/Linksys' latest version. It's not buggy or anything, but it adds new "features" that put you firmly in their grasp and it has some privacy issues. Wouldn't hurt to be one version or two behind, but I have no plans of updating to their latest.Is it on the most recent Firmware?

Ah, probably good advice. He could always Flash ddwrt on it..
I am a Tomato guy myself. I like the Netgear "WNR3500 L". The "L" is for Linux or open source compatible. Cost is around $80 and you can buy them at Staples.
Not all routers are the same. Some of the newer ones have more memory and faster processor. I've set up several dozen of these.
Not all routers are 192.168.1.1. Some can be 192.168.0.1 or you can change the IP address if you get into the settings. It is hard to diagnose it over a forum. If the resets don't work try resetting the router with the reset button on the back. If it still doesn't then you would need someone there to look at it or go and buy another one.
Thanks for all the advice guys. I wasn't able to get it working but INGOer TopDog helped me out and hooked me up with a D-Link that is working really well.
What did you do with the Linksys?
I confess I am not as well versed in Routers as you seem to be, so I have a question.. I only suggested he flash ddwrt in an effort to fix his issues..
Have you ever seen a Firmware upgrade/update fix an existing issue with a router? or is it a waste of time if you are already having issues?
I'd like to be able to turn the linksys into a thrower, but I don't know how to.
