I have a D-Link Router, model DIR-615. We used to have two phone lines and the one phone connected through the internet. We forgot we stopped having the one phone line and spent an hour or so trying to make the internet come on and the phones work.

The phones now work but I can only get internet access of I hook up my laptop directly to the speedtouch. I was attempting to fix the internet so I unplugged everything, took away the now unneeded talkbroadband box and reconnected everything.

Now the router refuses to even turn on. Not even the power light will glow. Normally everything glows, even if one light is red but now it's as if its not connected to power. I made sure to reconnect everything properly and I know which wires went were but even changing the electrical outlet won't work and I'm getting desperate. We need the wireless for work.

Help would be much appreciated.

Do you have a multi-meter? You can test the power supply to make sure it's putting out the proper voltage, if it's junk you could get a replacement, but if the talkbroadbox is bad, then you're looking at replacement. If the power supply is good, plug it into the Broadtalk box and when it's inserted try putting a little, very little pressure on the connection at the box in a circular motion. Sometimes the poles that connect the power plug into the main bord can break, if they have, you could probably have it seviced, unless you know how to do that, but if you don.......DON'T. You don't need a fire because you wanted to save a couple of dollars. Also check the cable from the power converter to the connector, make sure it isn't cut or show any excessive wear and tear.
