No idea what happened, never had an issue with this router before. I was working on the computer and internet just stopped, checked the router and it doesn't show up in air-port pref on my Macbook Pro anymore. It was still on my iPhone, and then a few minutes later disappeared from my iPhones network as well. I've tried hard resetting etc, network name doesn't show up anymore, on ethernet to the modem now but tad uncomfortable sitting on the living room since I have the router and modem in my entertainment center.

All the lights work fine, and it lights up like normal but network went "poof".

Need help asap as I work from home. Typing in ip of 192.168.0.1 just says google chrome cannot connect to that page. I had to play with my Mac for awhile as it wouldn't connect by ethernet till I figured out I had to uncheck passive FTP from Proxies.

Ugggh so after that last 60+ min I finally got the wifi connect and setup but now it won't connect. The network shows up but doesn't load or anything when browser is opened whether on the iPhone or MacBook Pro. This sucks, have no idea what caused this issue out of nowhere.

What HW version is your router?
What FW version is currently loaded?

What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem do you have? Stand Alone or built in router?
What ISP Modem make and model do you have?
If this modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems.

Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual?
Turn off QoS options.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the router.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.

What wireless modes are you using?
Try single mode G or mixed G and N?
What security mode are you using? WEP, WPA or WPA2? Preferred is WPA-Personal. WPA2/Auto TPIK and AES.
What wireless devices do you have connected?
Any cordless house phones?
Any other WiFi routers in the area?

Well I finally got it to work last night after a couple hours. Still have no clue wtf happened. Literally wifi disappeared from all our devices including iphone, but not all at once. Macbook Pro lost it, but it was still working on my iPhone for another 5-10 minutes before disappearing from the iPhone which makes no sense. Then girlfriends laptop and net book eventually lost the network. Chatted with a couple tech people and nobody has ever seen or heard something like that where the devices didn't lose the network all at once, just literally one by one.

CHeck out some of the items I mentioned. Let us know. Might help maintain the router. Can have a review of your router settings using teamviewer.com if you like.
