Net Gear WGR614v6 Frozen

Forum Wireless Networking : Setup, Configuration & Security Net Gear WGR614v6 Frozen

I have had a Net Gear WRG614v6 for around 6 years now and it has been very reliable. Sometimes I would need to unplug and plug it back in and that usually took care of the problem.

Anyways I just got Directv installed and it seemed my xbox 360 would not be able to connect then my cell phones would not see the network. Little things like this which were fixed with a simple unplug and then reconnect on the router.

I was messing with the settings a few years back trying to set up the PS3 with dmz and other stuff so today I said the heck with it, lets just do a hard reset and start fresh.

I looked online and it said just hold the reset button on the back and it will reboot. Nothing happened now I can't get the router to do anything. Tried all sorts of resets and none of them work. Its like its frozen. Any help would be great and if its time to get a new one any suggestions.

I have 2 pc's in the house, 2 cell phones, wii, ps3, xbox, laptop and 3 directv receivers all need internet access.

I can't believe something is wrong with the router I think it is just frozen and I can't figure out how to get it back.
