JNR1010v2 - Router does not connect to internet

Hello,

 

I have a 3 month old netgear wifi router, model number JNR1010v2. It was working fine until recently. It does not connect to the internet since the last two weeks. However, I am able to connect to the inetenet if i connect the ethernet cable directly to my laptop or PC. If i connect the same ethernet cable to the router, the led for the internet does not light up & i am unable to connect to internet,

 

I tried connecting my rotuer to my firend's connection with the same result. His router works fine on the same link.

 

Can you please suggest a suitable remedy?

 

Details:

Model Number: JNR1010v2

ISP: ACT internet (Provides an ethernet cable to home).

Thanks in advance

Krishna

    Thank you for your note. I did try the setup & much more. It has been confirmed that it is a hardware fault on the internet port in the router. I will be exchanging the router for a new one.

    The PC is able to connect to rotuer just fine. However, running the initial setup again after a factory reset gives the following error - 'Please check if ethernet cable is connected'. 

     

    As stated earlier, the ethernet cable works just fine if it is connected to the PC directly,

     

    Any troubleshooting or fix suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks in advance
