Not much to go on here, lots of other people having a similar problem with this model of router. Try pressing the reset button (you will need a paperclip or similar long thin type object), but hold it for about 25 seconds (have read that). Then give it another try. If you still have no joy it might be worth cloning the mac address if your router has this feature(pretty sure it will have). Best of luck.
