Ann, This is very interesting. With the good router, which obviously I have hooked up now being I'm emailing, the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 displays as the default gateway. However, when I plug the other router in the default gateway is blank. This leads me to believe that either the router itself is bad or the firmware may have somehow become corrupt.
