Man have I had a bad experience so far with this piece of s***t router. I had one delivered last Saturday, which was basically a brick. The power light didn't come on, I couldn't connect to the router, and the ready light was permanently on - no other lights at any point. The not-so-EZSetup button did nothing, the reset button did nothing, even when held for 10 seconds, never mind 5. Returned it.
Got a new one on Wednesday. It's now nearly Saturday and no joy.
This one at least turns on, and I can log into the router. The EZSetup never works, but I'm happy configuring manually. BUT - I can't connect to the net at all. The WAN light is constant blue, suggesting there is a connection.
I have another Asus router, the WL-530g and it works a treat. If I plug my cable modem into it, connection works fine. Switch it to the 700ge, nothing.
Has anyone got any ideas on what I can try? I've updated the firmware to version 1.0.7.8.
The router seems to have no inbuilt ping or trace utilities, so I can't try to ping the outside world to see where the problem lies.
Any help greatly appreciated.
