Setting up my home lab for ccna

Make sure you've set putty to echo typed characters locally (E.g. makes what you type shows up on the screen). Should be an option in the settings somewhere.
Try starting the putty session before you switch the router on, you should see the router startup sequence in the window. If not, you might not have configured the settings correctly.

ok I will try that in a few

Hang on, I'll setup putty here and screenshot the settings you should be using so you can make sure that's not the problem.

Change the Flow Control to None, the rest of the default settings are fine.

hmm yea same thing I checked my settings and it still does the same thing opens a window but you cant type anything, and nothing even shows up in the window. Possible its a bad router?

Try one of the switches? Maybe do a quick vid/pics of your setup?
