| Does anyone know why a wireless router has to be rebooted to regain internet connectivity? In other words. Even though I had a connection to the router. I no internet connection from my wireless computer. I had connection to the internet form my desk top, so I know the router was working, and I had connectivity to the wireless network from the laptop, but could not access the internet until the router was rebooted. Any answers? Regards, Kashka |

| Sometimes routers are a little slow in regaining a public IP address. You either have to reboot them, or go into the service menus and tell it to reassign an IP

| Routers are simple computers. They run on software, just like other computers. Software in an operating computer/router/whatever is stored in memory. A tiny stray electrical charge can easily effect memory by turning on (or off) a couple transistors. Re-booting a computer/router/whatever reloads the software and it is back to its original state. |
