Hard reset seems to have worked. Thanks!
For the curious:
First thing that happened was the router reported searching for another router on the network. Didn't find one and proceeded to reset the router to factory specs.
Once that came up I restored my previous settings that I had saved while I still had access to the router.
Still curious what it set itself to last month when I tested my olde 3700 (which, incidentally works fine behind an AT&T router at my other house -- and has a lot more range and SPEED than the AT&T.

Bugged firmware. Same thing happens to me, using WNDR4500v2 1.0.0.54. The last time this happened was just the other day, after about 5 days uptime. I'll log in to the config pages, view a few of them, and then suddenly they can no longer be accessed with Chrome and IE reporting "connection refused" or similar. The internet still works fine, but the router will no longer allow the config pages to be accessed until a power cycle.
This doesn't happen with 1.0.0.50 (I had a stretch of over 30 days without issues or reboots before), so I'm going back to that again soon.
