Hey Rob,

Yeah I'm running on 1.8, which was the latest available, however just a minute ago I discovered on D-Link's forums that they pulled the 1.8 due to issues, so I'm about to go downgrade it to 1.7 and see if anything happens.

I'm not optimistic though as I've been running on 1.8 for at least 6 months.

Okay, I downgraded it but it's still doing the same thing. I'm now running on an old Linksys router, however it too was giving me the same problems until about 5 minutes ago, and now suddenly it's working. The strange thing is, I still can't access the router software properly, it's slow and times out repeatedly.

I'm really baffled by this, and wondering if perhaps I should try my luck and connect my D-Link router again, as it was a fairly expensive buy when I got it (£85 2+ years ago).

One thing I have discovered though is that the A1, A2 and A3 revisions of the DGL-4100 are horrendously unreliable and brick themselves quite often. Mine, of course, is an A1 (luck wouldn't be that kind to me heh) and thus I'm probably fairly screwed.
