|  #1 Posted on 14.7.07 1821.26 | Instant Rating: 8.10 | I've got a Linksys Wireless (G) Access Point here -- WAP54G. Last I used it, it was working fine, & it's been back in its box for about a year. I plug it in, the Power & Link lights come on on the front panel for about 6 seconds, then they both go out. Grr. Have I got fried hardware? Is there any way I can tell for sure?
There is a reset button on the back -- doesn't help. Don't know of any power surge or anything that might have hit it since it last was working correctly. I don't have another 12V DC, 0.5Amp power supply to try.
Any thoughts before I have to head over to Fry's & drop $50 ?| Promote this thread! |           | Merc

It seems the reset button has to be pushed for differing lengths of time depending on which revision you have - between 10 seconds and 30 seconds. | Guru Zim

| #3 Posted on 15.7.07 1648.09 | Instant Rating: 8.81 | Hmm I am stumped. Any chance it is the incorrect power supply?
I think I have one of these in a box upstairs somewhere... but I think my brother in law did something with a Linux image on it or something like that.
Is it a vanilla out of the box 54g or did you change the software on it?

I tried holding down the reset from as soon as I apply power, & the lights go out regardless.

*Shouldn't* be any reason it's the wrong adapter. I haven't been able to find anyplace online that tells what the specs on the adapter should be. This is a ver3.1 box, BTW. (There's a post from a moderator on a Linksys message board indicating that they changed the power supply between v2 & v2.2 from 500mA to 1000mA -- yeesh. And I've got a 500mA here, FWIW.)

Totally vanilla.

| #5 Posted on 15.7.07 2013.37 | Instant Rating: 8.81 | I knew something sounded wrong when I posted that - I have a WRT54G which is the one that you can do all sorts of hacking to. I don't know a thing about the WAP. Sorry.
//edit I also have a WRTP54g with Vonage ports on it, but that won't help much either.
