| 749952 | 2009-02-21 05:51:00 | The -gC model doesnt have the "You cant brick me" option the -gU does unfortunately. Basically if you hold down the "Restore" button on the back for 10 seconds, the power light should very slowly flash on and off. Thats it resetting the firmware. Can you confirm it does the slow flashing when holding down the Restore button? Bear in mind as soon as you release it, it'll start powering it up again. What Firmware is it running? Were you trying to flash it? (Its OK to say yes, things occasionally go wrong .. Ive had about 15 of those through my hands and another 10 of the -gU models, none leave my hands running stock firmware!) Also, there's the possibility DHCP may be disabled, though doing a factory reset should have fixed that unless you disabled the factory reset button with a non-standard firmware. Try manually setting your IP Address to 192.168.1.2, netmask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as 192.168.1.2 Let us know how you go :) Good luck! |

| 749953 | 2009-02-21 06:18:00 | hey thanks for the reply, ummm well basicly i purchased the router in aus while i was over there, and i didnt test to see if it was working or not, and when i got home test it, it didnt work just the 5 lights came on. and ive been looking all ova the net for a soloution, what i think ive found out is it dose not have a fireware on it. ive try using the restore button thing lots of time but the power button never turns on. it just the 5 lights as i sed b4. the computer im trying to use it on dosnt want to pick the connection up, but i no it works with other routers, so have u got any other suggestions that i could try |

| 749954 | 2009-02-21 09:55:00 | Basically it sounds like a dud unfortunately. Did you purchase it brand new? As they're not shipped from Asus without Firmware, somebody has to have tried to flash it and failed, potentially a firmware thats too big or something, Im not sure .. So you've *just* purchased it from what I understand? It cant be returned? |

| 749955 | 2009-02-22 01:19:00 | okay well is there anyway possable to make it work again, and nope i cant return it |

| 749956 | 2009-02-22 02:26:00 | In my honest opinion-probably not. You could try, since you can't refund it anyways. Out of curiosity, what mad you buy the router in aussie? Its already pretty damn cheap in NZ. www.nzoczone.com For stuff like this, either test it first b4 you bring it over, or if you're trying to safe a few extra bucks, forget it. Having a warranty is worth it Blam |
