Linksys BEFSR41 on the fritz :(

Post by Wade Belak »

Well, if you saw my previous post (a while back) I fixed the last problem I had with my router. Now, however, I have a new problem.

The problem is the WAN/Diag light on my router is always red and as a result nothing connected to it works. I can't reset the router either... can anyone help?

Thanks!

Could be a faulty cable or the router is bad.

Do you flash the firmware? If so, you may have a bad flash. You can still recover (I've done this before).

1) Download the latest firmware (currently 1.45 002, Apr 21 2003).

2) Make sure the computer you're flashing from is in the 192.168.1.x range (except .1).

3) Run the TFTP utility, and enter the router address 192.168.1.1 and password "admin" (the defaults), and point to the "code.bin" file included in the firmware update.

Hopefully, this will fix your problem.
