And I am thinking the same thing you are. Doubt resi users upgraded
their router overnight.
Like you said, chances are it has to do with that heartbeat. Asked a few
folks around the US to ping it, some successful, some not, and they
weren't behind anything Belkin related.

Where? I keep reading "bad firmware" problems but everything suggests
there is no automatic upgrade and I think we can safely assume resi
users didn't upgrade their routers over night.

Funny,
Just saw something about Belkin routers and a botched firmware
upgrade.
I wonder if this is what they meant.
That being said, it is working fine from Zito Media in Clanton, AL.

Apparently Belkin routers ping the home base every couple
seconds to determine
the correct color of the Internet light on the router (orange
or blue *sigh*).
Worse, when it can't ping the Belkin site the router seems to
pack up and
redirect my subscribers to their router configuration page.
I found this pretty easy to work around. I simply DNATed the
pings intended
for heartbeat.belkin.com <http://heartbeat.belkin.com> to one
of my local nameservers and that seems to get
them back online. It's a silly workaround, but if anyone else
is seeing all
the Belkin routers on their network pack up, this could be why.
