Latest DGN2000 Firmware has broken my router!

Swifty55 · 9 Feb 2010 at 15:35

I upgraded my routers firmware and now my modem is unresponsive and the power light keeps flashing green and red.

Is it nackered or are there any solutions? I've looked around the net and no help there!

cant you just go onto netgears site and dl the latest firmware?

Nope. My PC can't connect to the router at all, and my router just flashes red/green at the power light. The port number lights up when I plug in the ethernet but my PC doesnt connect.

It was Netgears latest firmware I installed.

Another thing, my router supposingly detects bad firmware and should let me fix the problem, but it doesn't as it doesn't respond at all!

sounds like the firmware hasnt been installed correctly,there must be workaround to solve this.
i suggest you contact Netgear support either by mail or phone.

I've contacted Netgear support by their ticket system. My router is only 5 months old and is still in warranty so Netgear should sort out my problem!

In the mean time I've got to use this unrealiable piece of **** Speedtouch!

I've tried scooby. I've tried the normal reset and the hard reset. Nothing seems to make it work, I can't connect at all to it.

Nah still no luck. I've contacted Netgear and they are going to replace it.

Thanks anyway!
