Having weird issues on my router

longhorn79

I was wondering about something about my router. Every time this router boots up it goes through a whole sequence and gives me a fresh start to configure this router. It doesn't save any changes i put into it. here I posted a txt file giving the boot sequence.

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:

Try re-seating the RAM & NVRAM modules.

What's the config register set to? Had this happen on a dozen 1841s I was working with earlier as it was 0x2142 (ignores nvram), needs to be 0x2102.

joluis9

That happened to me before and this ^^^ was the solution.
