I have a D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router (http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=530), which has worked fine for the past year since I bought it. I recently moved and changed internet providers. Now, once every day or two, the router stops responding - no internet traffic goes through, and I can't even bring up the admin interface for the router. I have to cycle the power on it, then it works fine again. LAN traffic seems unaffected. I updated the BIOS, what else could the problem be?
Could it be overheating? – Tester101 – 2009-08-20T17:49:05.180
Not likely, the lights keep flashing and a quick power cycle brings it back up for another 12-48 hours. – sangretu – 2009-08-20T17:52:44.830
Cable, fiber, or phone coming in from isp? – Tester101 – 2009-08-20T18:01:04.017
Input is ethernet from the cable modem. In the past, this router has been pretty forgiving about losing its external link, and picks it back up pretty reliably when it returns. Also, when I cycle the power on the router, I don't do anything else - the cable modem and its connection remain as-is. – sangretu – 2009-08-20T18:05:41.370
