Router broken?

[The_Techie]

This morning at about 00:20 our internet was still working fine, but since this morning it doesn't want to work. Nothing has changed since it worked, which is strange.

The iBurst modem is connected to a router, and I can see that it connects correctly (I get an external IP address which I can view on the router), but none of the computers can connect to the internet via the router. I've even reset the router to default settings and set it up again...

However, when I connect the modem to a PC via ethernet, it connects. Is my router fscked?

hi Techie

Experienced this often. Routers going crazy.

On a Linksys which went down the router could establish a connection, ping from its utility but did not allow traffic moving through from the clients.

Try putting one of your machines into the DMZ and see if you get any action that way.
If it works look at the firewall settings or mac filtering.

Bought myself a Linksys WRT54GL to replace my Gigabyte GN-BR01G, everything's working fine now.
