My DIR-655 suddenly has stepped sending traffic across the network, wired and wireless. The unit is showing power, and activity through the WAN LED. The LED is also lighting up for the wired LAN (where I have a switching running to the DIR-655 that sends cables throughout my house). Wireless cards cannot see the router, either. The status LED (the circle and triangle one) is not flashing.
I have tried everything in the book to get this thing restarted: unplugging and plugging back in, a standard reset, the 30-30-30 reset trick, removing the top and engaging the reset button directly; however, nothing seems to cause the unit to actually reset itself.
The problem was sudden and out of the blue. It was working fine in the morning, then in the evening when my wife and tenant returned from work, neither were able to access the network: it seemed to be frozen.
In the meantime, I have swapped out the router for a DIR-825, and everthing is working fine; however, I would like to get this unit going again and give it to my mother, who desperately needs a decent router.
Any suggestions on how to get this otherwise fantastic unit out of its apparently bricked state?
