Hello all, I have been having a heck of a time with my new router Linksys BEFSR41. Both my computers are unable to access the internet despite using the included setup wizard. Around Setup #9 I get a loop that continuously says checking computer settings….. after it gets to 100% it says to enter in a router password. I put it in but then it goes BACK to checking computer settings…. etc etc etc etc. It just loops over and over. I’ve tried setting up the router manually but that doesn’t seem to help either. All the cabling is connected properly. Before the BEFSR41 router I used a D-Link 604 router that is starting to die. Are the D-link settings getting in the way of setting up my BEFSR41 router??? Is this even possible? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I'm using v4.2 of the BEFSR41 if that helps.
EDIT2: After messing around with it for sometime I think the router is defective. Every time a small change is done to the router either physically (disconnecting or reconnecting cables onto it) or making changes in the setup interface. The http setup interface is no longer accessible at all, even after re-powering it. Only a reset will allow me back into the setup interface again which is extremely annoying. But since i reset all the changes that i make will just go back to there factory defaults so whats the point??? If anyone has any suggestion feel free to drop it down here. I can sure use the help. thx in advance.
