please can someone help me.. this F modem can't assign IP's/login to the interface or anything..
when i press the reset button it does nothing... the warranty expired 17 april so yes telkom told me i must buy a new one... the router still turns on and works as a hub.. so was wondering if u chaps have some ideas 4 me..
 
yeah its weird.. you know when the router doesnt assign you an IP u get the yellow exclaimation mark.. and then a random 169.. is assigned.. manual assigning works but u still cant pick up 10.0.0.2

i've pressed the reset button with a pen and held it down like atleast 30 secs and nothing happens.. doesn't even kill the network connection??
 
Its friday!!! Advice giving is over till monday!! :D Scmukko!!! :D
 
Your connection MUST go down for a while, you know, while it reboots and resets.
Maybe, turn it off, push the button, and while the button is down, turn it back on.

I dont have my manual, so i can't confirm YET how to reset it.
 
OK, I'll give you some help to reset it... you can leave it on, get a pen or something, push in the button for a couple of seconds till your router reboots and thats it. See friday and Im helpful! Amazing! :D
 
ok ill hold it down while im on the forum, as im on another router but using the router as a hub it should kill my connection....... but i'm still on.. WTF?

why dont they make is a DECent reset button??

also the wireless light isnt on?? wierd?? shouldn't it been on?:eek:
 
I've recently seen this... twice. With Mega 100WRs. The routers were fried. Try using something thinner to press the button; you should hear and feel a distinctive *CLICK*. If the router does not even want to reset, that's a bad sign. You said you assigned a static IP address; did you configure your subnet mask correctly (255.255.255.0) ? And how about Default Gateway (10.0.0.2) ? Does the router accept wired connections (UTP / USB) ? If you are able to get a connection to the router, try login by browsing to http://10.0.0.2 (default username = "admin"; default password = "admin"), and attempt to perform a reset from there.
 
I had a similar problem at a clients house last week, he lost access to the mega105 router and wasn't assigning ip's, so I manually set it, I could ping the router but couldn't access it via the web interface. I switched it off and back on, but still noting, so I switced it off again and switched it back on, it took over 3 to 4 minutes for the dsl light to start flashing, the the wlan light came on then only after a few more seconds did it sync and started working again.

I guess that means it's not resetting? Did you try statically assign an IP address and access the web interface to try reset it that way?
