Title: First issue, not sure if it's the router or what.
Post by: kargo27 on August 13, 2011, 08:50:18 AM

I just experienced my first issue but I don't know if it's my router, modem or ISP.

I can connect wirelessly but not wired on my laptop.  I can connect to the router, but get no internet service.

If I use Windows 7 repair utility it says I have some sort of DNS Server error.  I switched DNS servers to different ones and get the same error which makes me think it's something else.

We haven't gotten rain here since Spring but it's been raining yesterday and today.  I wonder if that has something to do with it.

I tried another known-good router and it worked fine.

Did a factory reset and used the Wizard setup on the CD and got 90% of the way through.  Then when it was trying to finalize the setup, it said it failed and gave me 4 steps to start over.  I just exited out and configured the wireless manually.

It seems to be stable again.

It's weird because I had zero issues until last night.

I should have checked the logs and posted but totally forgot about that.  If it happens again, I will.
