WLAN indicator won't stop blinking when router is reset

As far as I am aware, the only way to reset the pin, is to reset the router to factory defaults. You will then have to reconfigure your wireless settings. To reset to factory defaults:
Plug in the router.
1. Locate the small reset button. It is next to the power jack.
2. Use something to push the button, a paper clip works well.
3.Hold the reset switch down for 10 seconds.
4. Wait for the WLAN light to stop blinking. The router is now reset.
To reconfigure the settings on the router, enter 192.168.0.1 into your browser address bar.

Use the following steps to reset the router to factory defaults;

- Press the reset button for 10 seconds. You can use a small object, such as a paper clip to hold down the button.

- Do not unplug or power off the unit while the router is being reset.
- The unit should now reboot, and once the WLAN light stops blinking the router should be reset.
- Open your Web browser and enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar.
- For the login, enter admin as the username and leave the password blank.

you need to open the configuration of the router. Read the manual in order to access on configuration. Once you access .. you can manually configure the router, and set what do you want.

Did this happen after a firmware upgrade? If so, this link may help:

Apparently there's a utility which will force firmware to load on the router. The steps are a bit technical, though.

If that doesn't work, the router is probably toast. Time for a new one.

The PC will detect a closed loop within the Network cable so forget that. Sorry but the router is bad if you cannot access it and the reset button does not help.

With the unit on, place a paper clip into the hole on the back on the unit labeled Reset. Then, Hold paper clip down for 10 seconds and release. The unit will reboot on its own after the time is up. Once the WLAN light on the front stops blinking, the unit is reset.

You will loose all of your other settings, but at least you will be back in business.
