Hi, Ronni, It’s fixed! I tried all the suggestions with no luck, so started from scratch with the router: discovered that it only had its own DNS number in the Network Wi-Fi panel. Fortunately, I had all the original data written down, so was able to add the necessary. Now I can gather up the piles of hair lying around and try to stick it back on. I can’t imagine how those numbers vanished away.
Thank you very much for your help!
