See if you can get the ip address and subnet mask from the seller. Then configure your laptop as a peer to peer with the router by plugging into one of the ports. Check the config.

Work around

Good luck

The funny thing is I purchased two of them and the one that works is dented and looks like crap. This one, the one that does not work, looks brand new. I don’t know what to do. The seller claimed “it came from a working environmnet” I just want to know if there is a way to diagnose hardware problems or if I should just cut my losses.

I know when I was messing with it I change the baud once or twice.

Is my best bet to switch the baud rate then reboot the router and send a Break within the first 30-60 seconds?

Any handy was of telling if the hardware is messed up?

Thanks for your help.

1. hardware issue.
2. the default bandwidth 9600 in the router has been changed.

Have you tried different baudrates on the PC side?

I am now trying to figure out if the problem is hardware or software related with the router. I’m not sure if it is software because I can’t even access the software. Any ideas?
