Try resetting your wireless router. Power cycle it through.
Symptoms:
lost Internet access on all devices
unable to go online
no Internet connection on router
router Internet LED symbol is amber
To powercycle your home network:
Turn off the router by unplugging it. If you have a modem and router in one device, turn it off then proceed to step 3.
Turn off the DSL or cable modem for three minutes.
Note: Some modems are equipped with a backup battery. If your modem have one, please remove the backup battery to completely turn off your modem. For common cable modems equipped with backup batteries, please see Performing a full reset of cable modem with battery backup
Turn off all computers attached to your network.
Turn on the DSL or cable modem first and let it boot. Let it complete its connection to your ISP before proceeding to the next step. One of the indications that the modem have completed its connection is by seeing a green light on the modem. If you have a modem and router in one device, proceed to step 6 after it connects to your ISP.
Once the modem completes the connection to your ISP, plug in the router. Let it complete its power on test before proceeding to the next step.
Restart your computers.
Turn the new modem off.
Turn the wireless router off.
Turn the modem on.
Wait 60 seconds for the modem to reset itself.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the modem to the 'WAN' port on the router.
Turn the router on.
Wait 60 seconds for the router to reset itself.
Done.
Turn off the modem (i am assuming you are using a cable modem. if it is a DSL modem, this will not work) and the router. Turn the modem back on and wait until all the LED's on the front of the modem come on and blink or stay solid, then turn the router on. If it is DSL, you will have to refer to this page: http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT160N
Use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer directly to the DSL modem, bypassing the router, turn the modem off, turn the modem on, wait 60 seconds, and restart your computer.
Does the Ethernet lamp still blink when Windows is booting, and when you are using the Internet?
Turn the DSL modem off.
Turn the router off.
Turn the computer off.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the modem, and connect it from the computer to the router.
Turn the router on, and wait 60 seconds, then turn your computer on.
After Windows is running, click Start.
Click Run
Type CMD
Press Enter
Type IPCONFIG
Press Enter
Look for output like: default gateway........ 192.168.123.456
If the string starts with '192.168', then your computer *IS* "talking" to the router.
Now, use an Ethernet cable to connect the WAN port on the router to the DSL modem.
Turn the modem on.
Turn the router off.
Turn the router on.
Wait 60 seconds.
Restart your computer, and you should be able to web-surf.
Hi turn both modem and PS3 off. Then connect the ethernet cable from the modem to the PS3 and then turn the PS3 first. Then after the PS3 is completely on, then turn the modem on so the PS3 will get the modem's IP adress. I recommend you get a router and connect it to the modem and the PS3 to the router. It's way better. I hope this helps.
If your cable modem was operative ...here's an easy procedure:
1. Turn off all network routers, modem, computers.. 2. Turn on the power to the DLink router. let it cycle up. 3. Connect your ethernet from the Dlink to the cable modem and then turn the power on to the cable modem and let it cycle up. ..this will "fool" the cable modem into finding your dlink as the "computer" ..since the cable modem is set up for only one computer, if the dlink is the "computer" that it locks in, then go ahead and turn on all other computers and etc...you should be able to get online wirelessly.. Follow the order of events above and it should be cool.
You do not need a password for cable. You need to make sure that your router is using DHCP. Whenever you connect something to your cable modem, you MUST turn off everything. Then turn on in this order:
1 Turn on cable modem and wait until the modem syncs with your ISP. 2. Turn on your modem and wait until the router and the modem sync up. 3. Turn on your PC
Your cable modem will remember the MAC address of the last device that was plugged into it, which is why you must turn off your modem to clear out the modems memory.
Turn everything off for 2 minutes, cable modem, router and pc.
Turn on modem and wait 2 minutes for the modem to sync to TW. Turn on router after 2 mins and wait until the router syncs with the modem. Turn on PC It sounds like your router lost its connection to the cable modem, which happens from time to time. TW will not help with your router. I worked for a cable co and the router and modem losing sync was the at least 70% of the calls. FYI cable doesn't use DSL,just the phone co.
