Hey everyone. I just purchased the DIR-825. I went to install it and the wizard always gets stuck on step 3, which is when it says it is waiting for router. This step is after the modem is unplugged and the ethernet cord is plugged in to my computer and the other end into LAN port 1. Step 3 says to plug the power into the router and wait. For whatever reason it waits for about 3 or 4 minutes then tells me i need to restore my router to factory default settings. So i do that and try again. I have done this about 5 times and its always the same. And just to throw it out there, the Status LED never comes on. The POWER, and PORT 1 LED lights are on. Any idea on what to do?
Now for the other part of my question which i think ties in to my first. So after failing time and time again to get my router properly installed, I decided to try and do it without the cd wizard. So i hooked everything up as i knew it belonged as this is not my first router, and got the internet to work. But it only works if my computer is connected with a ethernet cable. I have no connectivity to the wireless network. My current setup is this way so I can at least attempt to find an answer to my problems. I have even tried running the wizard with everything connected and working in hopes that the wizard would then be able to 'find' my router and work, but to no avail. I cannot even connect to the router setup page at 192.168.0.1. Every other website works, but this one does not. My browser just says cannot find page. If there is anything anyone can do, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
