Micro Code Re-Post

Hello,
I have an MN-500 router that recently had its power light
stay yellow instead of its usual green. This happened
after the power went out. It is now not distributing DHCP
addresses. I had to manually enter an IP address in my
computer (192.168.2.5) in order to get to the Router
setup page, but the setup page states 'Recovery Micro
Code' and asks me to browse to a file for an upgrade.

I have downloaded the MSBNDownload.exe and extracted the
MN-500 .dlf file and attempted to upgrade it using that,
but it says that the upgrade failed. The router power
light now blinks consistantly green and yellow.

I have tried this multiple times using the MN-500 .dlf
file, and have never used any other firmware (so the
software on the router should be fine).

Do you have any ideas as to what could be causing this,
and a way to fix it?

Thank you.

This is a repost because the problem is persisting and I
received no response to my first post. I would be
grateful for any help.

try hard reset or power off and on

Well to answer my own question, I called Microsoft. They
were good about helping me. I told them what I had done,
and they said that's all that can be done. The two year
warranty hadn't expired yet, so they sent me a
recplacement router.

If you get a problem like this, do the steps below, and
if that doesn't fix the problem, you're out of luck.
