My home Linksys 802.11B Router/Switch doesn't work any longer. None of the lights light-up on the router anymore. When you plug it in, a few of the lights flash on quickly and then shut off.

When I plug my network cable (from the jack) directly into the network card on my computer, the light on the rear of the network card turns on (indicating a proper "sync" for my broadband connection).

Thoughts? Could it be a faulty power supply cable? Or should I just buy a new router/switch? Any suggestions on how to test it? I already tried to reset the router manually, to no avail.

Thanks.
I think the muffler bearing is out of synch and needs pre-loaded to about 25 ft-lbs.

You boys need a refresher course? It's all ball-bearings these days.

Tapered roller bearings are better.

you're going to need some gauze pads, wd-40, and some ball bearings.

Unless it the large model, then it's split bearings. Check the clearance on the shaft.
Or, if it's Windows based, turn it off, then turn it on again.

Don't you guys have some Gallo-walking to do or something? :D

(Still looking for an answer to my original question.) ;)

No, but I am supposed to be working. Does that count? Is this a trick question?
BTW - glad we could help. :P

I'd say replace it. I'd recommend the ones by D-Link instead of a Linksys. Linksys just hasn't seemed to hold up as well recently.
