I had to uninstall my 2300 dell router. I tried to reinstall it and the computer cannot detect the router. I heard that there was a bug with the 2300. I did it before but I cannot do it again. I cannot get to my.router online but I am able to get on the internet. What could be the problem?

1. There is firewall or other security software on your computer which is preventing system from accessing your router. Disable your firewall software or other security software temporarily. 2. The router is not connected to the computer or is not plugged in. Double-check the connections. 3. The router may need to be powercycled. Like PCs, routers sometimes need to be 'rebooted' or powercycled. Unplug the router's power, leave it unplugged for a full 15 seconds then plug it back in. It can take 1 to 3 minutes to come back online completely. If you have an existing network, chances are you have already configured network services on the network.  In this case, you would use the router as a pure Access Point to extend the range of your network by allowing more attachment of wireless and wired computers.  You MUST also turn off the DHCP server on the router if there is a DHCP server running to avoid IP address conflict. To configure the router as an Access Point with the DHCP server disabled: Open your web browser and go to http://my.router, (or the default address http://192.168.2.1.) Click the Basic Settings tab on the top navigation bar. Select Access Point Mode. Click the Next button. Click OK to dismiss the DHCP disabled message box. Click the Advanced Settings tab on the top navigation bar. Click the Advanced IP Settings tab on the left navigation bar. Assign an IP address to the Wireless Broadband Router. NOTE: The IP address should be reserved by the DHCP server. The Wireless Broadband Router cannot act as a DHCP client, therefore, it needs a static IP address for its LAN interface. Click the Submit button. Click the Save & Restart button. Note the status bar at the bottom of the screen. While the Wireless Broadband Router resets, the Power light on the front of the unit blinks. When your web browser returns to the main page of the Wireless Broadband Route, the device has successfully restarted with the new settings. NOTE:  The main page may not return if you have changed IP address of the router in Step 8.  To view the main page, type the new IP address of the router in the web browser to access it. Plug an Ethernet cable from the existing local network into any LAN port on the Wireless Broadband Router.

I cannot access

http://my.router, (or the default address http://192.168.2.1.)

Reset your router and then try the default address again. Before you reset it, disconnect it from both the hi-speed modem and all computers.

Believe it or not, I do know how to fix alot of things on my computer but when it comes to network connections, ect.... I am as dumb as they get. How do I reset the router? I've tried unplugging it and nothing. I cannot access my.router or the default address. How do I reset?
