When did it first occur and do you recall changing any settings at all? You could make a new config when you manage to get on, do a reset and then restore it. The issue is you could bring back the issue by restoring the config.

Hard to say exaclty how long the problem may have been there. I haven't logged to the mgmt console in two or three months at least. I've had to restart the router a couple of times becuase my hardwired connections stopped comms. But, haven't changed any settings in 6 months. Things on my LAN don't change much, so once I get everthing setup and tweaked, I rarly mess with it. The only reason I was logging in yesterday when this started is that I'm dropping packets big time over the last week, and I need to start figuring out if its the routher or ISP. I agree with you on the config. I've already made a backup. But, when I do a reset, I'll just take some screen shots and hand jam everything back in. I've just gotta work around work schedules.
