Sometimes routers get stupid, they are running on software.<br><br>Also I might mention that my router sometimes gets knocked out when my 2.4Ghz phone decides to share a nearby sub-band. Most times it comes back after hanging up the phone or changing channels on the phone, but every couple of months or so it knocks out the whole router.<br><br>Should get a 5.8Ghz phone, I know.<br><br>------> JD's Trivia game<br><br>------> MCF-MM Trivia game
Yup, it's back to normal.<br><br>What I don't understand is how come wireless was fine. Same router but hardwired lost it's function there for a few days.<br><br>
Like Reboot stated, routers run on software and something likely corrupted the wired side of yours - rare occurrence. Usually the wireless side gets hiccups.<br><br>- alec -

Plus what I don't like is the damn thing is always transmitting back and forth between the handset and base. On our set the lights flash ever slightly, and though you don't see it during the day at night it looks like a damn laser show. At least on the other styles the handsets don't transmit until they receive a signal.<br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®

Every once in a while I check with D-Link to see if my router has any new firmware updates that I need to apply. If the problem comes up again, you might want to check the manufacturer's website for updates. <br><br>
