OK, I have started from scratch. then set computer to normal, then set to 192.168.1.100, powered up the HG612 with reset pressed for more than 5 seconds, after waiting for lights to settle although the LAN2 light flashes now and again. Access Internet Explorer, put 192.168.1.1 into the search bar and it asks for the software, I find the software and press the continue button and the process starts. after 40 seconds the second top box changes from 192.168.1.1, to the rotating circle icon and "waiting for 192.168.1.1", a further 20 seconds and I get the "This page cannot be displayed", now I notice that the power light on the HG612 is flashing for a short time, then ceases. I am sorry but I am not qualified enough to know whether the problem is with the HG612, the computer, the software, or with the operator even. As the problem manifested itself when I was trying to set the IP address in the HG612 to 192.168.1.254, this is when the bottom of the page went yellow and the mistake message appeared. I assume that is where the problem lies. Unfortunately I have now tried more than 6 times to reset the equipment and flash the software, however it keeps doing what I have chronicled above. I am beginning to think that I have broken the HG612, but surely not, simply by trying to change an IP address!!.
