Happened all of a sudden today when I got home, seems like my router broke:

Modem

\_____ WiredPC2

- Both PCs cant ping router, cant access Internet.
- Both PCs are configured with static IP, can ping/ssh/mstsc one another.
- Above tests have been done with and without modem connected.
- There is no wireless in my setup.
- Direct modem connection to my machine works.

Anyone know what to do / How long is Engenius warranty / I dont think I kept receipt or box / Am I screwed I don't have money for new router????

[edit] Tried the hard reset a few times (paper clip into hole), seems very inconsistent. Sometimes nothing happens, sometimes light blinks, sometimes light blinks in different ways. End result still the same, can't ping can't access admin page can't access Internet.

Check the manual for the error codes (lights blinks in different ways). It will tell you what's wrong.
