Internet connection problem

Richie(UK)

Hi all,

I have a Linksys WAG160N wireless router. Making use of this at various times are a main desktop pc, a couple of laptops, a PS3 and a Wii.

All has been fine for some time. Then, 2 days ago, we found that we could no longer connect to the internet. The wireless connection is still being made with the router but not the subsequent connection to the internet. On the router itself the 'Wireless' and 'ADSL' lights are on but the 'Internet' light is not. I have tried powering off the router a couple of times but to no avail.

How do I go about resolving the problem?

PS : For those contemplating the obvious response - I'm posting from work where there is an internet connection!

Could be a line fault.

Does your master socket (usually the first one that comes into the house) have a "test socket"? If so, plug your router into there and see whether you get a connection that way.

You could try going onto the BT website and reporting a fault. They'll soon tell you whether you have one or not.

Could it be a known issue?

I have a linksys wag54gs wireless router with just a pc and ps3 connected,and i had the same problem,to fix this i just had to do a factory reset,and re configured the router to my original settings and it worked.to make it easier make sure you note the settings down for reference just in case it happens again.
