Mr. Router is a Linksys BEF somethin-or-other. &nbsp;It ends in the numbers s11 I think. &nbsp;It's worth about $120 new, probably $30 used.<br />
<br />
I found a big bug in this router which allows someone to make it unusable thru the router interface (192.168.1.1)... &nbsp;Oopsi! &nbsp;The diag light started blinking. &nbsp;The ACT light will blink when things are plugged into it, but holding the reset button for &gt;1 minute (while plugging in, while unplugging, while plugged in) doesn't reset to factory defaults at all. &nbsp;So can someone help me to fix this without taking it apart? &nbsp;I called linksys and they said it is defective. &nbsp;It is now! &nbsp;192.168.1.1 can't be pinged and packet-sniffer Etherreal can't detect a darn thing from it so... &nbsp;Cable connections and wireless connections both fail<br />
<br />
Does anyone know if the router's flash ROM is soldiered/glued or is it slotted?? (in case of takeapart)<br />
<br />
thanx ya'all easy question if you happen to know the exact answer...

Router\absolutely inaccessable

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
