Router not working or no connection...help!

Last night I was unable to connect to the internet through my LinkSys 3G Router WRT54G3G-ST and Sprint service. I tried resetting and power-cycling my router however I had no luck connecting afterwards. I tried doing the same this morning, however its still not working. Nothing in my setup has changed so I doubt it has something to do with my computer or the cables.

All of the LAN lights appear to be lit as they should, but the blue "Data" LED is blinking furiously for 10 seconds then stops for 10 seconds. Is this because I'm not getting any service or could it be something with the router?

Is there any way to tell if Sprint EVDO has an outage in my area? Is this possible?

Try removing the card, turn off the power to the router, shut down your computer.

Wait two minutes or so so that all of the rotten memories in ram fade away.

Repower the router. Insert the card. Reboot your computer.

I tried all that but it didn't work....though I didn't wait 2 minutes.

I ended up unplugging the router overnight and trying it hte next morning, in which it worked.
