[QUOTE="SRim23, post: 6187732, member: 568830"] So the other day i disconnected my wireless router and cable modem while i was cleaning and when i went to reconnect i accidentally plugged the power cable for the modem into the router and vice versa. the routers lights blinked but all turned orange and after unplugging and plugging it back in not realizing what i did i finally realized and switched em back. ever since then i cant get my router to connect to the internet. it powers on, connects locally to my computer but the internet light showing its connected wont come on and it wont connect. my modem works just fine if i connect directly from my modem into the computer. so is it possible i damaged my router and thats why it wont connect to the internet or am i just stupid? ive disconnected this many times and never had this problem before. by no means am i computer genius but i can usually figure things out on my own. been messing with this for days and just cant figure it out.
