Did work. I received the error code 1231 all 4 times. All 4 were lost.
ISP = Shaw
Modem = Motorola Surfboard SB5101
Firmware was the latest for v2
Is it dead?

Most likely, your router is dead. However, there is hope if you can manage to somehow ping your router. To try various ways to ping your router, do the following:
1) Power down your entire network. Disconnect your router, modem and computers.
2) Power up your computer.
3) In the computer, set it to IP address 192.168.1.20, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 , default gateway 192.168.1.1 , DNS server 192.168.1.1
4) Also, in the computer, set ethernet card to 10 Mbps, full duplex
5) Power down your entire network.
6) Using ethernet wire, connect any LAN port on your WRT310N, directly to the ethernet adapter of your computer.
7) Power up your WRT310N and your computer.
8) Ping the WRT310N at 192.168.1.1
9) If ping is successful, stop, and report back with your ethernet card settings.
10) If the ping fails, then return to step 4 above and successively try other ethernet card settings with every combination of speed and duplex. So try the following:
10 Mbps, half duplex
100 Mbps, half duplex
100 Mbps, full duplex
1000 Mbps, full duplex
1000 Mbps, half duplex
11) If ping fails with all these settings, then your router is totally dead.

If you are able to ping your router, then use the tfpe.exe program to reload your router with firmware. To do this, see my post at this URL:

Not sure how to do this. Ive got Vista if that helps

Instructions are for XP. Vista is probably similar.
To do step 3:
Go to "Start" > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Network Connections , then right click on your ethernet card (usually called "Local Area Connection" ) and then click on Properties. Click on the "General" tab. Scroll down the box (labeled "This connection uses the following items" ) until you see "Internet Protocol TCP/IP" , then click on it. Then click the button labeled "Properties". Click on the "General" tab. Select the dot that says "Use the following IP address" and insert 192.168.1.20 for the IP address, 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask, and 192.168.1.1 for the default gateway, then select the dot that says "Use the following DNS server address" and insert 192.168.1.1 . Next click on "OK" until all the windows are closed. (NOTE: DO NOT close the windows by clicking on the "X" ).
Above procedure will set your computer to the fixed LAN IP address of 192.168.1.20
Note: After you finish trying to get your router to work, you will need to return to this same section and reset your computer to "Obtain an IP address automatically" , and "Obtain a DNS server address automatically". This will reset it to use "DHCP-automatic".

To do step 4:
Go to "Start" > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Network Connections , then right click on your ethernet card (usually called "Local Area Connection" ) and then click on Properties. Click on the "General" tab. Then, next to the name of your ethernet card, click the "Configure" button. Then click the "Advanced" tab. In the box on the left, click on "Speed & duplex", then in the box on the right change it to "10 Mb full". Then click "OK" until all windows are closed. (NOTE: DO NOT click on the "X" to close the windows. )
You have now set your ethernet card to 10 Mb full duplex. Reboot your computer and see if you can ping your router.
You can similarly set your ethernet card to other speed and duplex settings at this same location.
Note: When you have completed work on your router, you will need to return to this location, and reset your ethernet card back to "Auto".

100 Mbps, half duplex
