My fairly new Belkin Router was inop yesterday morning, said to reboot it when I tried going online but still nothing after 2 attempts. Thought I'd need to call someone when I got home later but once home last night, everything was OK again w/o doing anything.

an issue with a service configured in certain Belkin router models that causes a failure when it checks for general network connectivity by pinging a site hosted by Belkin

wow.

Belkin modems are horrible. I've had nothing but trouble with them over the years.

I've avoided them for over a decade.
