One half of the router spits its dummy out?
Anyone with better knowledge than me out there that can help me understand this one.
Several times over the last couple of weeks (most of the time at or just after midnight .. but more recently at 6-6.30 pm) the hub5 that I have will flately refuse to talk to the internet. But, its more than that before you jump in.
Whilst the internet is down:
Both ethernet and wireless are gone, devices are connected to the router but not to the net.
I cannot access the routers settings (192.168.0.1) (times out)
I can access other devices on the network within the house (such as seperate router used as switch on 192.168.0.6) (normal speed of connection)
The guest netword (192.168.1.1) is working fine - wirelessly only, but fine.
I have tried explaining this to the customer service people but this isnt covered by their flowcharts of questions and answers as (multiple times that I have called, and mulitiple times within each call) they simply default to wireless issues/have you a third party router/you have multiple devices connected to your wireless .... blah blah blah ... and not understanding that ethernet is not wireless and this issue is happening to bioth at the same time.
Anyway, can any of you shine a light on how or why this is possible for the main network to have no connection to the net, but the guest to be fine and at full speed?
Much appreciated,
Itza
