ByMgRs Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I just came off the xbox and sat in the front room to watch a YouTube video, go in the kitchen and then come back and my wifi won't connect on my phone so I go and look at my netduma and all of the lights are off, so I assumed the European adapter fuse had gone so I changed it with another 3a fuse but still nothing, I leave it another 10 minutes nothing! I have had to setup my bt router I had hidden in a dark dank closset hopefully never to see the light of day so basically my router turned into a brick please help!
Guest Netduma Fraser Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Have you recently upgraded? If so can you try connecting by an ethernet cable and try accessing "http://r1"or "http://192.168.88.1" or "http://192.168.1.1" please
ByMgRs Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 I haven't updated it recently (since when .6 came out)
ByMgRs Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 But it is literally dud I can't connect
Guest Netduma Fraser Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 But it is literally dud I can't connect Did you notice if you had a brief power cut before checking the router?
ByMgRs Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 No as the television was on and lights in the house and nothing happened
Guest Netduma Fraser Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 No as the television was on and lights in the house and nothing happened Have you noticed it getting particularly hot? Is it possible you broke the power unit? Have you tried plugging it into a new plug socket?
ByMgRs Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 Right I plugged in the power supply for a hh5 and it turned on so the power supply must of broke
ByMgRs Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 When I noticed the wifi was down I put my hand on the router and it was hotter than normal
Guest Netduma Luke Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 So just to clarify, the power adapter has died but everything else is working fine?
ByMgRs Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 I believe so but why did the power supply blow in the first place if there wasn't a power cut and why was the router hotter than normal
abc123 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 you can grab a new "official" power supply here: http://routerboard.com/18POW
abc123 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I believe so but why did the power supply blow in the first place if there wasn't a power cut and why was the router hotter than normal it likely isn't dead, however if opened you'd find a bad component. There is always a percentage chance for receiving an item that will go bad, especially with electronics.
ByMgRs Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 Ok so if there is a 'bad component' is that something I should worry about
Guest Netduma Luke Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Ok so if there is a 'bad component' is that something I should worry about It could be a fuse that has gone or perhaps something else. Don't plug the broken one back in for now - the good news is the router is fine. I'll get back you you asap on warranty etc.
abc123 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 no i imagine it is (in order) fuse, capacitor, power surge (burnt circuit), resistor.
ByMgRs Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 Thanks abc123 so the router is faulty? and when is official support back as I have no (good) router I would like a quick turn around
BL4CK OPS V3TRN Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 i don't know what I would do if mine died !! Prob gather up family and friends and have a Funeral and say a few kind words
