I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue? We had one of those crazy rain storms yesterday and our house lost power for about an hour. When I rebooted my computer again, I didn't have a wired internet connection. I can connect to my wifi, but not to the wired connection. I did all the first line resolution methods like unplugging the modem/router and replugging, restarting computer, then called Tech Support and they did a reset and checked all the settings in properties etc. Final word was that it may be the cable, or another software problem. So, when you look at the cables at the back, from three devices I have plugged in, two are flashing green, and the ethernet cable is solid yellow. I guess this means it is not working properly. I had spare cables, so I changed one out, same problem, plugged it into the other empty slot on the modem and still same problem. Then I had an older cable from my older router/modem, so I tried that one. This one flashes green like the other two devices plugged in, but there is still no change in the fact that I can't get a wired signal. The network settings thing still says Unidentified Network, and Limited underneath that. By the way, I have that latest router/modem thing from Rogers.
Does anyone have any other ideas to try? Rogers basically told me all my settings looked fine so short of changing out the cable, I should ask a friend whose good with computers to check it out for software issues. There was nothing wrong with my connection before that storm/power outage.
Thanks in advance for any help!
