Windows 10: Needing a New Router

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a router? Someone on here sent me one for free a while back, but it went out, so now I'm without one again. . haha. . . I like Linksys Routers, cuz it's all i've ever used. But, i'm inclined to switch if the price is right. . . I can spend about $100

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

Need help with tranferring settings to new router

I guess since the devices on this list are not either the server or POS I could just recreate the reserved IPs on the new router, but I like to try to understand why they are there, first. I need to find the devices on the reserved IP list. For all I know they no longer exist.

This issue of communication may or may not be as difficult as I am making it. I am still scarred from my first attempt to replace the router when I shut the store down because the cash register stopped working. That was quite awkward.

When I replace the old and boot up the new router, won't it issue a new IP address for all devices on the network using DHCP? You mean I need to have every computer in the building reboot?

I am finding Network Genie to be helpful in that it shows most, if not all, devices on the network, but there is no way to output the device list in text format.

Is there some other free software that will list all the devices and have the ability to produce a report?
