Hey there,

I had a problem crop up today which has taken a toll on my wireless connection. I was trying to enable my Belkin router as an access point for another wireless device, but almost immediately after I did I lost my wireless connection.

I tried to get back to the router's configuration page (by typing default gateway into my browser) to revert the changes but I couldn't connect to it and haven't been able to since. I ran ipconfig to see if there were any obvious problems and it seems I've lost the default gateway:

Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.61.66
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

I had a look on the CD the router came with but if I try and configure anything it just tries to take me to 192.168.2.1, the old default gateway, which obviously draws a blank.

Any suggestions for how I might be able to fix this? I've tried some obvious solutions like resetting router/modem and trying to detect IP settings automatically but no luck. Also tried ipconfig /release and /renew but still nothing.

Some more info on my router can be found here: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProdu...duct_Id=372043

Any help would be much appreciated since I have no idea where to look next.

Thanks :]

Have you been connected to the router via ethernet while you've been trying this?

If push comes to shove, you might have to do a factory reset.
