Home Networking / Router / & WiFi Gateway Help

[Pangchan]

I used to connect my labtop to the router in wireless. Last night, i was trying to connect it in cable. After i connect the cable to my labtop internet port and the router ethernet port, it doesn't show up anything. It should have light beside the port. What can i do  ?

Anyone knows what happen to my moderm or rounter  ?

Could be a bad cable or the ethernet port might be disabled.

To enable the ethernet port, you need to go into the command prompt and open up the device manager and enable or reload the ethernet port.

Click start / Run and type cmd in the run box and hit enter. At the blinking cursor, type devmgmt or alternately devmgmt.msc and hit enter. This will bring up the Device Manager screen. Scroll down to Network Adapter and click on the plus sign to the left. You should see your wireless adapter and your ethernet adapter. If the ethernet adapter has a Red X on it then it is disabled. If so, Right Click on it and then Left click on Enable.

What exact model of router are you using?  What OS are you using?  If Windows, report exact output of the command "ipconfig /all" when connected BOTH ways.

But it  didn't shows up anything when i plug the cable in the ports.
