Ethernet ports don't seem to work
« on: February 08, 2013, 03:37:00 PM »
i've tried plugging in various devices (computer & solar panel management device) into the ethernet ports to no avail. i just updated the firmware, reset the router, and still no luck.  all of the lights work when i reset and the wifi works fine. do i need to do something in the settings to turn on the hard connection?

What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on routers web page under status.
What region are you located?

Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.

Check cable between Modem and Router and devices, swap out to be sure. Link> Cat6 is recommended.

Seen some cases where the inbox cable is defective.
Glad you found it.

Enjoy
