My router won't even turn on when plugged in. What's the problem?

  • ousooner15 Jan 04, 2011

    The router worked the very first time I turned it on. After set up, I changed the location of the router which meant changing outlets. After replugging it in, the router was dead. I tried the old outlet and the same thing happened. I tried just about every other outlet in the house and the same thing.

This may sound silly, but try another outlet.

This problem is pretty upfront and complete. No power, no lights. It could be the power supply is bad, or the unit. At this point, once you're sure the outlet is good (plug a lamp into it or use one you know is good), you'll have to get a hold of another power supply or another unit and test both.

You may find if you don't have another one handy, is to take it back to the store (new?), or find a power supply with the same characteristics (power output and load), and the same connector.

Barring that.. you may have to see if there's any technicians, computer stores, etc that will let you bring it in and try the combinations above to see where the problem lies.

Good luck!

Need info... is it DOA (Dead On Arrival)? did it happened after a power loss? or all of a sudden? you should first check the AC adapter for power with the use of a multimeeter, try plugging it in a differant outlet, then you could try performing a reset (according to manual instructions) but it could be just dead... these things happen

Sorry!

Wi-fi extender

using a wireless uplink sucks and most equipment won\'t do it and the ones that try suck at it.



that said:

-set the 1st router up normal

-set the second router up EXACTLY the same (SSID/password)

-now change the IP on the second router so that if the 1st is 192.168.1.1 the 2nd is 192.168.1.2

-last turn off dhcp on the second router

-NOW run a ethernet from the 1st to the 2nd and plug it into any port but the internet port. (that port won\'t be used anymore)

-ta-da! 2 networks but as far as your wireless device is concerned they are the same 1.



i have done this many times.... I have 3 routers at my place and can walk the whole length of my condo without losing a single packet!

Wireless won't connect

have you tried resetting the router un plug the ethernet cord and push the little button in using a pin for about 15 seconds then plug the ethernet back up and wait until all the lights are back on then cut the tv back on and see if it connects.

Adapter inactive

It is not the problem with the router. It is the problem with the wireless adapter on your computer. Open Network connections and look for Wireless network connection. If it is not there then open the Device Manager and look for Wireless network adapter under Network adapters. It seems that wireless adapter on your computer is not working or it is not detected by your computer. If you have external wireless adapter then unplug it and replug it.

Was working ok then internet down and red light on router constant - have done the turn off turn on routine and reset router to no avail. have also plugged indirectly to computer - green light then comes...

Try rebooting both the modem and the router. It could be that the modem didn't pick up it's ip number when the internet went down. Then try pluggint you computer directly into the modem first to make sure it is setup and working properly. Then plug in the router (to the modem) and the PC plugged in directly to the router and check.

Once you have it connecting at that point then check the wireless settings on both the router and the pc. Then enable the wireless on the pc, unplug the LAN and switch to wireless network on the pc and see if it won't work.

If it works plugged in on the LAN but then not on the wireless then either your configuration isn't correct (ie wrong gateway ip number...gateway should be the same ip number as the router...ie 192.168.***.***) or perhaps the wireless part of the router died. It is possible for the wireless to die and the LAN (hard wired connection) to still work.

My Belkin F5D8236-4 v3 Router won't turn on. We had a storm last night and the power went out but the router won't turn on. I have tried to plug it into different outlets to see if that would work...

Try resetting the router. There should be a little hole somewhere on it with a button inside that you can press with a paperclip. Try holding that button down while you unplug then plug the router in while holding it (if possible). If that doesn't work, I'd suspect the storm might've damaged the router somehow. Was it plugged into a surge protector, and/or have you noticed any other issues with anything else that was turned on at the time?

My belkin router wont light up?

  1. Try plugging the router to a different power outlet.
  2. Reset the router.
  3. Check the power adapter specification of your router and if you have another power adapter that has the same specification then try that power adapter to your router.
  4. If using another power adapter and your router will not power on still, it is possible that your router is faulty already.
Hope this helps!
