I have an OBI 100 since about five weeks and it worked great.
Since yesterday it doesn't get a LAN connection. The LED for power is solid red. The LAN port on the router doesn't show a connection. I have connected a notebook to the LAN cable and it works. So, I am sure that the router and the LAN cable are OK.
What can I do?
I make three assumptions:
1. You've already tried disconnecting and reconnecting the power without improvement.
2. You already tried a factory reset. http://obihai.com/faq/Troubleshooting-sec/My-power-LED-is-red
If the link to the procedure isn't working, see http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=28.0. Although only the OBi110 is mentioned, the hole in the bottom method should also apply to the 100.
3. You are in the US.
Probably best to contact OBi. http://obihai.com/faq/Troubleshooting-sec/anyone-I-can-contact

Yes.

This helped! My settings were still there.

Yes.
Thank you!
Petere, I suggest you try to give the OBi100 a static IP address on the router using the MAC address of the OBi100 then power cycle both.
@LeoKing.
My interpretation of Petere's reply is that his OBi100 is working again. How else could he know that his settings were still there?
I only suggested the OP set a fixed IP address for the OBi100. I never said your suggestion didn't work for the OP. (http://www.getsmile.com/emoticons/smileys-91853/r/auskosten.gif)
The OBI 100 worked again for half an hour. Then the LED turned solid red again. The router also doesn't show a connection. I tried a hard reset again and a reset over the phone, but the LED stays red. I think the hardware is broken. I'll send it back now.

Yup, hopefully the replacement will work well for you.
I received my replacement today and the new OBI 100 works great.
