Well if you are facing problems with the router than the easiest of the options is to get your router replaced by the nearest dealer. If you are using the rented router that is being provided by the mtnl people then you might get it replaced. One of my friends had the same problem he also got it replaced by the same method. The problem of the dead router can occur when there is no proper update of the router’s firmware or if there is some problem during the update.
