Cable Forum - View Single Post - Edimax router not connecting to the modem

I found a fix for it today, but I'm confused as to how and why it worked. I only noticed it because I'd been working on it for hours.
I tried it with the RJ45 cable directly into the router, wouldn't work. I disabled that and tried the wireless card, that didn't work. I reset to factory default and went into the router using the cable, could get into the router, but not to the modem, so I changed again, only I left the cable plugged in to my system and the router. It worked. Figuring I'd sorted it, I unplugged the cable from the system and the router, didn't work. Tried it plugged in, but disabled, it worked. I couldn't believe what I was seeing here, especially as the RJ45 socket was disabled, so I tried it 5 times more, and it seems to have fixed the problem.
Can't understand why or how, but it works with it plugged in, even when disabled. *shrugs*
