I get a signal when I try to connect through my notebook, and for all intents and purposes do connect to the house network. But all I get when I try to go online are DNS errors. And then those start happening on the main computer, too. So, at a guess, the router has failed, and the connection between it and the modem is making everything else go screwy.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our internet connection was down for most of yesterday, for reasons that have not yet become apparent.
