Unable to connect to TP-Link TL-WR841N

[blackbird307]

I cannot connect to it wireless, nor can I connect to it physically.

-It broadcasts SSID: Complex_pgm_wireless
-Does not resolve IP Address through DHCP when connected physically or wireless
-I cannot ping it through MAC Address
-I am not using a crossover cable
-Used different cable

When doing a hard reset, SSID remains Complex_pgm_wireless, according to the manual, the default SSID is TP-Link-xxx-xxxx. I have performed hard reset multiple methods with long durations times.

I connect to wireless SSID, and it just says "no internet connectivity".

I think this router is booked, unless anyone has anyone ideas.

Thanks,

A lot of routers support a 30/30/30 hard reset. Give it a shot.

If that doesn't work, most routers also have a fall-back mode to allow you to reflash a working firmware. But it's different for each one, and for a $20 router like yours it may be easier just to get a new router.
