Not sure if this was already said, but here's my symptoms and solution steps:
Symptoms:
- Was not able to save any settings (router would do reboot / speed test on any Save Settings which it forgot)
- Wireless disabled and not possible to enable
Things I tried that did not work:
- Solutions involving saving settings (This does seem like someone's joke)
- Powering off and counting to whatever number of seconds people imagine the hardware holds state for.
- Updating firmware from 1.21 to 1.34
The thing that worked:
- Factory reset by pushing pen into reset switch in the back of the router, holding, and releasing.
Yes, I had to reconfigure it, but that takes about the same amount of time as any of the other remedies I've tried.
I would never have bought this thing if I knew the trouble I'd go through, rebooting for the smallest configuration changes, power-cycling to restore connections, and this latest wireless failure. I miss my Linksys :\
Anyway, hopefully someone will benefit from this 'solution'.
Cheers,
