Try this:
- Connect the computer to the router and disconnect the modem from the router.
- Take a paper clip and press the reset button of the router for 60 seconds:
- While holding reset button, after 20 seconds unplug the power cable of the router.
- Wait for 20 seconds and plug it back.
- And wait for 20 more seconds then release the reset button.
- Once you have done this process go back to the computer and check the IP address whether it is in the range of 192.168.2.x.
- If yes connect back the modem to the router and follow the steps for the configuration.
- Log on to the router web interface at
http://192.168.2.1
- By default, the password should be blank.

Another option is to try and tftp upload a new firmware although I'm not 100% sue this router can take it - worth a try.
1. Enable TFTP (Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Windows Features -> check mark: TFTP Client)
2. Constant ping the router in a dos window: ping -t 192.168.2.1
2. get responses: 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.90 ms (note ttl is 64)
3. reboot router
4. get responses: 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=128 time=2.90 ms (note ttl is 128 - this should be the bootloader starting. will go to 64 later)
5. you need to run a tftp when your at bootloader - ie as soon as you see ttl=128: 'tftp -i 192.168.2.1 put <firmware>'
6. don't reboot the router for a while - be patient!
Good luck!
