What do you mean by does not restart?
Does the router come on and not connet to the Internet? Or does it just sit there doing nothing, with no LEDs showing signs of action?
If it does come on, but fails to connect, then what does the modem, if there is one, do? Does it come on and connect?
I ask because some modems can take so long to get on line that the router times out while it sits there waiting.
