LAN ports suddenly stopped connecting
weird problem, all working fine, left the desktop connected via LAN in modem mode for a couple of hours, came back and no connection. windows suggested no cable connected.
hard reset back to router mode and I could connect by wireless on the laptop but neither it nor the desktop could connect via LAN.
strange behaviour on the hub LAN ports, they are all 4 lit up solid green constantly even when no cables in and even when in modem mode. no data flicker and there is no data flicker at all on the computer end when you plug the cables in.
cable and laptop was tested by plugging it into friends superhub 1 and instantly connected to the internet. Incidentally his superhub LAN lights only come on when a cable is plugged into the port
I suspect the LAN ports of the hub have packed in. Anyone ever seen anything like this?
cheers
Steve
