You may get more help if you describe exactly what you have done and what happens now.

to be honist this seems to be a common problum that can happen after a bad firmware update the power light on the router just keeps flashing and you can not get on the internet.

Not sure exactly what you mean by a bad firmware update. The files check sum should be confirmed before switching over to the new firmware. Can you try to update to a different version? Have you re-enetred your settings?

i can no longer use the explorer update page for the router as the routers not working.So not possable to try a new update.

if you do a

start, run, cmd

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig

what ip address do you get?

does https://www.routerlogin.com work?

ipconfig Release ok
ipconfig renew no go
cames up with a ip address not sure if i sould put it on here

albertross_2

is it a 169.x.x.x or 192.x.x.x (these are apipa/local IP's, so no harm in putting it here).

Did you do the ipconfig whilst connected to the router, or have you attached the cable modem directly?

How did you reset the router??? did you do a FULL reset or just press the button in??
