Let me know if it works

If you connect the computer directly to the modem, does it work?
If that works then the modem is working.
Now connect the computer to the router and the modem to the router.
You will need to open the set up page of the router to check the settings of the router.
You can set up the router without the CD also.
It is very easy.

Try With A different wall Socket

If the lights are still OFF

Then call 1800-223-5546 and ask for a replacement

Reset the router . CHeck if you can get a wired connection on your computer working . if it is not update the bios and the wired and wireless drivers. try reseating the wireless nic card as well .

Make sure that your router is set for an "encryption system" that is similar to all your computers and mobile devices. Example, if your router is set to encrypt using WAP2, make sure all your devices connect and is capable to connect using WAP2. Or else, set it to WAP and set your devices to WAP also.

Regards!

Please try using Wireless 'G' mode only in the router. Also, try using 'TKIP' and not TKIP+AES for encryption.

Please rate this solution, if it works for you.

This is more of an explanation then a solution, but to best explain what to do I have to first explain why this is happening. When you add security to a wireless router or ap you add extra envelopes to the packets of info being transferred, adding encryption to that makes it much slower because the ap has to encode all packets coming to you and un-encode all packets being sent to the Internet. In our time this happens very quickly, but in computer time I just described a lifetime. In addition if your signal is not 100% you might have packet loss "more slow down". Now the answer, in your ap setup pages you can setup wireless security, set this to Mac address authenication and add the mac addresses of all the network cards that have access to this ap. This is by far the fastest methiod of secure data transfer.

Hope this was some help...

try resetting the router and the modem at the same time. then if that doesn't work try restarting your computer, like digi2112 said try upgrading you firmware

Hi! Did you go into the router configuration through IE (Internet Explorer)?

It is best to use the reset button on the router to start over.
if it then connects you will have to reset all the passwords and setting you had previously.
