    OMG, that's what the issue was! I was at the computer shop today, and the guy told me to bring it back in, he wanted to check something. I looked at the power plug, and tried one that was the same, and it worked. I feel like a **bleep**. So much frustration. Wish they would have sent those accessories with it. I never would have thought to check that, because it was getting power to it. Thanks for all the help.

    Couple things to try:

    1. I am sure you reconfigured or restored router configuration from saved one since you

         reset the router.

    2. Turn of everything, modem, router, your PC - wait for 1 min. or so -them turn on modem,

         wait a few seconds for modem to settle down, then turn on our router, wait a few seconds,

          then PC.

    Problem solved? If not from PC use command ipconfig /all,  what do you see? If still no good,

    ipconfig /renew, still no good? then ipconfig /flushdns let us know the result.

    Good luck.

      No operation can be performed on Ethernet while it has its media disconnected.

       

      Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

      And it flushed the dns fine.

       

      When I connect my old router, it conects no problem.
