Sorry if this is in the wrong spot. My dad is having issues at work and being somewhat computer competent, I thought I could help.
His set up is as follows: ethernet cable to a Westell WireSpeed C90-36R516-01 modem which is wired to a Linksys router BEFW11S4 which has the all the computers wired into it and then a network was created (I think) on the "main" computer. All the computers are Win 7 x64 Ultimate
Someone hit the reset button on the Linksys and all three computers stopped connecting to the internet. I noticed that the wireless button on the Linksys was now blinking after the reset button was hit. I went to 192.168.1.1 to try to disable it, but the default password was not working. I ended up creating a new network (broadband connection), which got his computer connected (the "main" one), but not the other 2. I kept getting a PPPoE Wizard Fails with Error Code 651. I tried sharing the connection but that didn't work as well. I tried to set up a new network but nothing appeared in the window "Choose a wireless router or access point you want to configure. This can take up to 90 seconds..."
Basically all the hardware is setup but I believe I have to create a new network and/or disable the wireless feature (which was not on before).
I am home now but will be back tomorrow. Can anyone guide me? I tried turning both the modem and router on and off as well as all the computers, but that didn't work. Please let me know if you need anymore info and thank you in advance for your help.
