Dell Truemobile 2300 - Please Help
I was trying to reset the router in the admin area and the pc crashed part way through.
The router now doesnt work and all the lights on it keep flashing randomly.
Is this the end of the router or is there a fix for this?
Thanks in advance

There is no reset button on the router, you can only disconnect the power, which ive done and it still doesnt work.
Thank You

Have you tried pushing and holding in the reset button on the router for 10 seconds?

According to the following document:

the reset button is on the back of the router beween the antenna and the Internet port.

Can you be more specific about which lights are flashing on and off? Do they do this, even when nothing is connected to the router? If you connect a computer to the router by ethernet, can you get into the router's configuration utility by opening a web browser and typing http://192.168.2.1 into the address bar?

If i disconnect all LAN1,2,3 and 4 connections the power, wireless and internet lights flash randomly if i also connect any of the LAN 1,2,3 and 4 connections they will also flash randomly. I cannot get into the router at all via the 192.168.2.1 address by connecting an ethernet wire straight to it.
Thanks for your efforts

It sounds to me like a bad router. Fortunately, wireless G routers have dropped in price and you should be able to find a new one for less than $50.
