Hello.

Today I was browsing the internet as per usual when it suddenly slowed down to a crawl. This has become a common occurrence recently despite a solid download speed of 5/6 Mbps. (This is not on the fiber network fyi :D)

So naturally I waited then got impatient and rebooted the router only to find it did not connect again. It's not showing up on the network via the usual IP and the lights on the front show only power and which LAN ports are being used.

I've tried to flash the firmware using various apps on the internet with no luck. Is their any hope or is it dead? :eek:
Also this is the second router in 4 years with the other being a TalkTalk D-Link standard issue not making it past the 2 year mark as it started dropping connections regularly. Any ideas on that as I'm starting to get a bit worried thinking it's me causing the issues? :confused::confused:
