    Hi,

    Sorry for not gettiung back to this sooner...

    I rolled back to 1.0.5.28 (just picked at random) then disconnedted the power for 5-10 minutes, and the ports worked again.

    Then flashed to 1.0.5.38 again and all is well... Not sure where the change happened, or what didn't get set/reset in .38, but rolling back solved it for me.

     

    Thanks for the help,

    John

Pull the power adapter for 1 minute then back on?

    Yep, tried that... several times on the router and all other devices too.

      Can you use a wireless laptop or PC and revert FW back to what was working?
