I have been having router problems.
One afternoon, I noticed that my internet was no longer working. So, I figured all I had to do was restart my modem and router and all would be good. I did it in every conceivable manner, to no avail.
I clicked on the network icon for the computer to troubleshoot itself. I have so far received the error messages that the ethernet cable was not plugged in (it was), the modem/router needed to be restarted (they were), and, ""Local Are Connection" doesn't have a valid IP connection".
Sometimes, when I clicked on the network icon to get it to troubleshoot itself, the BSOD would appear and reboot the system.
I have scoured the interwebs and have tried many a differing course.
I learned about the DHCP. So, I tried to go into the router settings while connected to the router. But, I never was able to. I would not connect. I then learned that the default gateway was the address needed, so I looked that up in "ipconfig" to make sure I was entering the correct address. My default gateway was blank..
I got new ethernet cables, to no avail.
I then saw where a bad ac adapter could be the problem. I had a power outage the night before this happened, so I got a new ac adapter. That didn't work either.
As it stands, my ASUS RT-N66R wireless router, even while not connected, has the LED lights on for ports 2 and 3. I have used all the ports in an attempt to fix this. The WAN LED has never been on since this problem began.
When I have my router connected, the flashing LED light for internet on my Motorola SURFboard SB6182 doesn't flash.
So this is where I'm at.
Here is my ipconfig/all when the router was hooked up. Any help at all and I will eternally thankful!
