Router Sign-on Issues
Help - I had lightning strike close to our house and in essence knock our router out (lights were all out). I unplugged it and it started lighting back up and working and worked for approximately 12 hours. It is now lighting up, but does not seem to be working. I try to connect to it and it requests the password and when I put it in it says it is the wrong password. It is all lit up like it would be working, but it isn't. I wasn't sure if there was something I could do to reset it or if something did happen to it that took a litle time to develop. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks

Re: Router Sign-on Issues
I would start with a factory reset and then reinstal the firmare.
Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on.
then reinstall the firmware to it. A reset only clears out settings. By reinstalling the firmware, you potentially overwrite any corrupt firmware.
Lightening does a great job of wrecking things. I'd start with those options if you can
