I've had a linksys router four about 2 years now. Thing cost me about 70 bucks (and that was "on sale"). Was a wireless one but now I think its fucking up. For a few hours today... Okay, since 2PM, my net dropped unexplained and it wouldn't give me a reason through the diagnostics scan of my LAN. So, I figured it would fix itself so I just turned the stuff off and took off for a while.
Though, about 40-45 minutes ago I turned my computer back on and still no internet. So, I ran another diagnostics, and it said a network cable was unplugged. I checked this, they were all in tightly, no loose plug-ins or anything. I also gave my internet modem and router a reset/turned them off for a couple of minutes to see if that would work, as it usually does.
It didn't though, so, after some fiddling around I unhooked my internet cable from the router, thus cutting off all other computers and my PS3 from it (about 3 other computers in the house and about 6 people live here...), so, my question is: Is my router fucked? Is it time for a replacement? Or is there a way to fix the expensive piece of plastic?
