It is possible that the router has burned up. Router hardware usually does not last to long due to the extreme heat inside. You can repair them by buying hardware and fixing them yourself, but usually it is cheaper to buy a router. I would say a router, that lasts awhile, would cast anywhere from $40-$100.
Good luck :)

Hi friend,
As you have mentioned that you have forgot the password for the router, so you can reset the router to factory settings by pressing the "RESET" button on the back of the router. It is a very samll button and you need a paper clip to press it.
What you need to do is, you need to take the paper clip, put it in a small hole on the back of the router and press and hold the button for atleast 30 seconds.
Once you release the button, the router will come back to its factory settings.
NOTE: If you will reset the router, all the settings on the router for Ethernet and the Wireless will be lost and the router needs to be reconfigured.

Hello

OK, firstly, your WEP code the a personal security code of the router, which secures your network.
This code is usually on the back, or bottom of the router. If you have personalised the router, you will need to log into the router and change the SSID name of the router. After you have changed the SSID of the router, you will be able to change the WEP code.

Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance.

Kind regards

Connect your router to computer with ethernet cable then you can access it with following default link. http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.15.1 or http://192.168.2.1 If you are not able to access it with above ip then check your computers ip address gateway ip is your router ip try with it. Then it ask for user name and password. Type user as "admin" and password as "admin" or "password" or blank. Then you can see configuration page of router.

the usual range for wireless ethernet is about 75'- however the theoretical range is about 150'- this of course with optimum conditions I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/susan_42b401e0b1603d8a

Here's a driver-free, software-free solution.

Turn your cable-modem (or DSL-modem) off.
Turn your Netopia off.

Connect:

Ethernet--port on cable-modem <-- cable --> WAN port on Netopia.

One LAN port on Netopia <-- cable --> network-port on your computer.

Turn the cable-modem on, and wait until its lamps settle-down to a repeating pattern.

Turn the Netopia open, and wait until its lamps settle-down to a repeating pattern.

Restart your computer.

Click Start
Click Run
Type CMD
Press Enter
Type IPCONFIG
Press Enter
Look for output like: Default Gateway ... 192.168.123.456
Start Internet Explorer
Type http://192.168.123.456 (or whatever numbers you see)
Login to the web-server running "inside" the Netopia.
Click to run the "Wireless Networking Setup Wizard".
Enter an SSID of your choice.
Select the 'WPA' level of encryption.
Enter a network-password of your choice.
Click OK
Restart the router (if it did not automatically restart).

Disconnect the Ethernet cable from your computer's network-port.
Click "View Available Wireless Networks".
Click the SSID of your new network.
Click Connect.
Enter the password, when prompted.
Voila! You have a wireless connection to the internet.

If you need the software, you may need to get in touch with Motorola/Netopia.
If you just need the drivers, look here... http://www.bioticaindia.com/3d-reach.html

I searched the user manual, and it does not specify. Try leavng it blank or try Admin.
If it was bought used, it may have old old info in it preventing your access.
Use the recessed reset button next to the power input to restore to factory settings. Hold for about 10 seconds then power off then on.

You can use the netstat -a command to find out which ports are open on a local Linux/Unix or Windows system (Figure 1), but netstat can't be used remotely across a network.

FIGURE 1: The netstat command can be used from the Linux or Windows command line to check on
open ports on the local computer.

If 3074(TCP & UDP) port is not opened on the router, refer: http://www.netopia.com/support/hardware/technotes/CQG_025.html for further step-by-step assistance.

For any further help/support, revert!

yes you can you have to format to do so.

Sounds like a firewall issue on the computer that you are trying to RDP/VPN from, or possibly that these services have not been allowed through the routers firewall.

Log on to the routers web configuration page, and see if there is the option to allow these services through.

You do need to find the IP....

Using a Windows Computer.... Get to a C: Prompt...

"Start", "Run" ...in white space.... enter "cmd"

At the C: prompt..... Type "arp -a" and hit the enter key.

Above command will show all IP's on your network.

This device - Netopia 3D Reach Wireless Adapter - is just that, an adapter. Outlook has nothing to do with it, it doesn't even know it exists. It's used to allow a computer to connect wirelessly to a wired router, and from there to the internet.
If the computer can't connect to the internet then you must configure it to use correctly the adapter. For that you must open the Wireless network setup wizard, select your local U-Verse router from the ones available and connect to it.
If the computer can connect to the internet but not Outlook then you must configure it and the router accordingly. For that follow this
