Hi Claudia,

>From time to time, the wireless router will sometimes crack under pressure, 
figuratively speaking of course.  Smiles.

The only way to fix this is to disconnect the electricity from the wireless 
router, and wait for about a minute or so.  To be safe, I would say to 
unplug it from the electricity, then go get yourself a cup of water or 
coffee, or tea, which ever you prefer to drink, then, once you're done 
getting your drink, come back, and plug the router back in.

At that point, the router will re-initialize, and the connection will be 
re-established.

Like I said, there really is no rhyme or reason to it, these wireless 
routers are just susceptible to those kinds of things, and this is usually 
the only way to fix it.

If you find that it's happening an extraordinary number of times, you may 
want to bring it to the attention of SBC Global/A T & T, and let them know 
that your router may be defective, unless you purchased it from an 
electronics shop, in which case, unless your router is still under warranty, 
you may have to purchase another router.

Having said that, it might also be a problem with your connection always 
getting lost from the ISP, and so your router has to compensate for the loss 
in signal, and since it doesn't know how to do this, it loses the connection 
and it sort of stalls, in which case, it is most definitely a problem with 
the ISP, but unfortunately, there really is no way of diagnosing/tracing 
this problem to the source unless you place another router in the same 
household, then seeing if the new router does the same thing.  If so, then 
you know it's not the router that's screwed up, it's the ISP connection 
being supplied, and they have to come check it out.
