I had created a back up when i first recieve my router so i thought hey ill use that logged on to my router did that then it just stopped working the wireless was no longer transmitting but it did indicate that the internet was plugged in... naturaly i was stupped so i tryed resetting my router and it has stopped all together now the power lights comes on and thats it when i attach it to my computer and type 192.168.1.1 it acts likes nothing there!

Did you remember to change your IP address to the 192.168.1. range?

I connected the ethernet cable directly to my pc like when you first get it to set it up and when i type 192.168.1.1 in the adress bar it does not bring up the log in page insted displays can not display page!

Welcome to the forum by the way. You have to change the ip address of your network card to within the same range as the router, i.e. 192.168.1.x

If you do an ipconfig/all command from the command prompt it will tell you what your ip address is just now. If it's not in the desired range you have to change it.

To change your ip address: if you've got XP go into Control Panel, Network connections, right click on your LAN and choose properties, click on Internet Protocol(tcp/ip) and choose properties. Change the settings to that shown in the attachment.
