I have a wrt54gv2 version 1 that doesn't have any lights lit up on it. I checked the power adapter and get 12 volts. I took the board out and checked the 3 prongs on the power adapter and I also got 12 volts. is the router completly dead or should I jtag it and try to communicate with it? When I plug the ethernet cable in my laptop and plug the router in. the Laptop doesn't even recognize that anything is plugged in. Any help would be helpful.
Thanks

I listed this wrong in the initial topic. It is a wrt54g2 version 1.0
no lights are normal if the router has a small problem. I'll bet if you look close, the wlan light as well as the power light are lit, just really dim
EDIT: what'd you do?? you posted in another thread about the config for the router.. did it ever work (light up) and if yes, what'd you do? _________________ [Moderator Deleted]
barryware 2 different routers. Both the same model number and version number. I posted what I did in the initial thread. I configured the wireless ssid etc, but I was unsure of what you were referring to with the wlan. I set the router to "gateway" and not router. If that is what I was supposed to do.
Now back to this post. I looked closely and couldn't see the lights on very dim. I'm not real sure what is/was wrong with it as I recieved it that way. I just didn't know If I should take the time to jtag it or just throw it away since it didn't power up. and I couldn't get my laptop to even recogonize that it had a ethernet cable pluged into it.
