So I've got this Trendnet TEW-432BRP wireless router. I used it last year when I was living in a dorm, and then left it in a box for the summer and all of this school year. So it's been lying dormant for about a year.

Anyhow, the need for a wireless network recently returned but it seems the router has developed a problem. I can plug all the connections in (including a hard cable to my PC) and turn it on but I can't connect to it and I do not see the name of the wireless network pop up on my PDA. An IP release/renew times out, but if I restart the computer and check winipconfig, it will say I have an ip address.

Now, I did change the router's default IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1 but neither work. I'm thinking I might just remember the new address wrong so I've been guessing at it for a while but I was wondering if there might be a faster way. A program that would somehow search for it, maybe?

I've tried pushing the reset button, tried holding it, but no luck. I don't even know if pushing the reset button would reset the IP address to default. I don't think it does. And the instruction manual was of little help.


Can anyone offer some suggestions as to what I should do now?
