SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.

My FIOS Actiontec router is probably the first gen one.


I started having problems this past week.  My main PC is wired to the router and that and any other wired lan connections are no longer working.  I have tried various cat 5 and pc's and no luck.  The wireless internet is working from from other pc's but DHCP is not working for them.  Any i am no longer able to ping the router or even connect to the web admin page from any pc, wired or wireless.


Please help????

If you tested multiple PCs hardwired and none of em could pull IPs from the router, I'd say prob bad router. Try the hard reset (hold the reset button down in the back for at least 10 seconds).

I can facilitate a replacement for you if needed. PM me and we'll get the ball rolling!

Have you tried setting a static ip on the pc? If you set the ip to 192.168.1.x (pick a value between 2-99 for x) you should be able to connect to router and get to the admin page. If not then try a hard reset of the router. If theat doesnt work you probably need to have the router replaced.
