Hello, Yesterday I lost WiFi (both 2Ghz & 5Ghz) signals. I went downstairs and found the HT2000W had the power light as solid red, the system light as solid white, and the receive light as solid white. The transmit and WiFi lights were both off. I disconnected it from the wall outlet for a couple of minutes and the same lights were present after plugging it back in. I then found the reset button on the back of it and pressed it, but the lights stayed exactly the same and did not shut off or blink at all, so I tried holding it for about 10 seconds, but the results were exactly the same. I then started searching the Internet from my phone and found this forum and tried to find some post with the same symptoms, but nothing was exactly the same. I tried a couple of the other reset processes with holding the reset button and wps button for 30 seconds but the lights didn’t even flicker. I eventually left it unplugged for about 30 minutes and came back to it. After plugging it back in things seemed normal, all of the lights on the front were eventually white and blinking in some manner. By the time I got upstairs to check the computer, the WiFi signal was gone again. I went back down to find the red power light and two white lights had returned. So I unplugged it for another half hour and returned with an Ethernet cable and laptop. I tried reaching the system menus from 192.168.0.1, but never got any response (there was a “took too long to respond” or “could not be reached” type of warning message on my browser window. I managed to eventually connect after several reboots of the modem and using the “ipconfig” through a windows command line window to identify the default gateway with the laptop plugged into the router. It was something strange that started with “100.xx.xx.1”, but it worked (very briefly). I did this a couple of times until I was able to snag a picture of a diagnostic code of 0000-0000-0000-5121. I left the HT2000W unplugged over night. When I plugged it in today, it immediately turned on with the red power light and two wight lights and I could not connect to it or identify any IP address (“ipconfig” always displayed a “not connected message” anytime the red and white lights were present. It only worked if the red light was white and the other lights were normal (of course this was only for a couple minutes at a time at the most)). I left the house with it plugged in all day hoping that it would magically fix itself while I was gone, but it did not. And even after leaving it disconnected for another half hour the red light and two white lights returned as soon as I plugged it in. Please help Thanks! (Sorry if this is duplicated, my phone acted goofy after I hit “Post” the first time and I could not find the original post.
