if it happens again jo turn and unplug your modem/router for 5 mins then try it again

I turn the router off each night but dont unplug it. I'll add to my list for the night to remember to unplug too!
So do you think its may be frozen?
I'm thinking of getting a new router anyway. When the kids are on their lap tops and main computer I often lose connection in the conservatory. Its so frustrating!
:roll:

Thanks anyway Peter.

I couldn't get on internet all day on Sunday grangers14. Unplugged everything - nothing. Got on straight away on Monday, with no problem. Think it had something to do with my service provider, but do they send an apology? Do they heck as like.

It happens to me every so often, it could be down to maintenance at the local exchange.

There must have been some problem with Orange because I had no email for a couple of days, couldnt get on from the main site. I searched and found others who had the same problem too. Its ok at the moment.
Will still look for another router because my son will be home for a month soon, along with him, my daughter and the others kids I'll never get on the lap top in the conservatory! :roll:

Your current bandwidth reading is:
I am with Talk Talk.

And it is working perfect at the moment. I have just done a speed test at,

http://speedcheck.ispconnect.co.uk/

11.25 Mbps.

which means you can download at 1.41 MB/sec. from our servers.

28.8 kbps dial-up
33.6 kbps dial-up
53.3 kbps dial-up
56 kbps ISDN
128 kbps ISDN
150 kbps DSL
256 kbps DSL
512 kbps DSL

Just checked mine from the link Kimmy put and its
28.8 kbps dial-up
33.6 kbps dial-up

56 kbps ISDN
128 kbps ISDN

So mines a lot less than your Jimmmy :roll:

Now theres only this running and Hans lap top at the moment. I'll check it again when the kids come back and see what it does then.
