I had an Adsl router installed the other day. I get home and it works fine. Then I try and download Sopcast (a p2p streaming player) alarm lights up red up on my router and I can't access the internet (wireless). I turned the router off and on again. Alarm is not lit up anymore but just power and ADSL are lit up(The WLAN light isn't lit). Now I can't get a wireless connection. If I plug it in diectly I can get the internet, but just not wireless. I tried searching but it just say's it can't find any wireless networks. The router has a reset button on it. Should I just press that?

What do you think the problem could be?

I would need to know who your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is do provide some more help. You can reset the router and see if that fixes it.

However,

...when you power up the router, this is the normal sequence of events:

• The ALARM light comes on within five seconds, flashes for half a second,
then goes off.

• Between 1 and 10 seconds after the ALARM light goes off, the WAN-LNK
light starts blinking, indicating that the router is attempting to establish
communication with the service provider modem in the central office. After
communication is established, the WAN-LNK becomes solid.

So, under normal conditions, the ALARM light should be off within six seconds of powering up the router, and within one minute the WAN-LNK light should become solid.

If the router cannot establish communication with the service provider modem, the WAN-LNK light will go off and the router will wait 10 seconds. The WAN-LNK light will start blinking when the router tries again to establish communication.

If, after repeated attempts to establish communication, the WAN-LNK light
continues blinking, turn the power off and then on. If the WAN-LNK light still does not become solid within one minute, call your service representative.

Right, I got my router working (just held down the reset button for 5 seconds and the WLAN light came back on).
Then it had the wrong IP Address. So, I connected My sony PSP wirelessly to the router and got the IP address, so I changes that on my laptop and it said connected to a secure network with excellent connectivity. So I unplug my lan cable, shut down my psp, and try to access the internet from the laptop, but just says the usual cannot display page.
I just can't think what the problem is. I can wirelessly browse the internet from my sony psp, so can't be any problem with the router, and as i said it says connected on my laptop. I just don't get it?

Just to let you know I have a Acer Aspire 5633WLMi LX.AU30J.056, XP Media center edition, and comes with an Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection network adapter.
I'm actually living in spain at the moment and Telefonia Provide my adsl.

Cheers for the advice. I got it sorted now. I had the wrong WEP key assigned.

Thanks anyway

Nice to hear you got it going!
