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.

I don't why ISPs still do that. It's a nuisance.
