Have you read through the documentation and made sure that you don't have to do something gay like use the installation cd to take you to the Cisco website and sign up for a Cloud account before it will activate the router for you? I bought a Seagate NAS a couple of weeks ago and I had to register with seagate for a web based access service which I have no intention of using before it would let me into the NAS (I needed a username and pass).

Until there's a successful connection on the LAN side nothing can possibly work...

i know

If even after resetting it the router isn't handing out IPs correctly to any client devices, it's probably faulty.

Just a quick update, I contacted broadband buyer who I bought the router from & they gave me a Tel number for linksys.

After speaking to an advisor I was told that the product was indeed faulty. Apparently the CISCO light on top of the router should stop flashing after 10-20 seconds, where as mine was permanently flashing.

I will be sending it back for a replacement, & hopefully I will get a new fully functioning router. I hope it's worth it after all this!!

In the meantime I'm back to the TPLink.

I see the last 3 pages of posts were completely unneccessary

My bad sorry, thought the light bit was for modem & not router as the router always flashed & didn't stop so I thought that was normal. I thought somehow that was telling me it was broadcasting a wireless signal & would stop once I'd connected to it.

there are different leds for different things. They all flash when they first power on and setup their connections and then go solid when everything is ok. The only ones which will flash after that are the lan connection (numbered 1-4) which will flash to tell you they are active and sending info.
