Ok guys, guess what happened to me? I was messing with my router and accidently locked myself out of my own network-if that's even possible. I tried to reset it and fiddled with it somewhat then this screen pops up and tells me that I have updated the firmware incorrectly or something like that. How the hell did resetting it accidently screw up the firmware?
Now the router is all messed up, the status light is constantly blinking at regular intervals, I'm getting no signal going through it, basically, I am screwed. Firmware probably got corrupted.
I got so upset, I slammed the router on the floor and broke. Think I can still RMA it? j/k...
Anyways, I ordered a new wireless Linkysys router through Newegg. D-Link makes great routers, but my curiosity got the best of me and led to its destruction. Instead of buying the same router, I get to try Linksys now. Yay, what fun!!! I hope it gets here in a few days. Then I'll post any trouble I have with it, but hopefully not. Reviews look good. Install seem easy and flawless. Good security with it too.
Now, I'm using a direct link with my cable modem to the NIC off of the motherboard. Man, what a night.
