I have a Belkin N750 wireless router that I use with fiber optic internet, and has been trouble free since the system was installed...until yesterday. Lost internet connection, and initially assumed it was with the internet provider. Called the company, and there were no issues noted in my area. So, started troubleshooting the router. The light on the front, which is supposed to be "blue" when everything is working, has been solid amber. I reset the router, unplugged it a couple of times, but no change with the amber indicator light. I found a thread online that mentioned cloning the MAC address, but still nothing. Fortunately, we have a backup Netgear N7000, which is what I am using now.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot the router? I'd like to have a backup, and wouldn't mind getting it working again. |

I guess I'll slow down and think a bit more, if the old router works... but the new one doesn't...
I'd try to plug the Belkin in to the Netgear and see if the Netgear will issue an IP to the Belkin. I'm also catching hell trying to get devices to connect to the Netgear router, its being a PITA. |
