Restore to defaults WNR1000v2
My router doesn`t accept internet from ethernet cable.
Other router do it well
I can login in 192.168.1.1, i can update firmware but this doesn`t help.
How i can completely restore router to defaults?
Go to maintenance, then backup settings. You should see a "Revert to Factory Default Settings" choice. Here's a manual link: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WNR1000V2/WNR1000v2_UM_19NOV2009.pdf
The router is getting pretty old, you might consider getting a new one.

This doesn`t help. And i also trying restart router via 192.168.1.1 page, but after restarting power led turns to orange and after more than 5 minutes don`t turn to green. After that helps only this restart:
turn power off, hold reset button, turn power on, wait 5 sec and release reset button. After that power led blinking green and don`t stop it. And after that i turn power off and on again. Only after that i can login to 192.168.1.1 but internet still not working.
There is also a factory reset on the back (a slot where you insert a paper clip for about 5 seconds).
What color is the internet led? It should be two over from the power button.
