[GTALUG] Router Mystery

[Jim Ruxton via talk]

I'm trying to solve an issue I've been having with my Teksavvy DSL 
router. For some reason over a couple of weeks my connection degenerated 
to the point where I may have had  connection to the internet for about 
half a day. I called Teksavvy  and got connected to Bell who said the 
line looked ok from their end. They said it was probably the router. I 
doubted it but Teksavvy sent me a loaner router. And voila my connection 
was immediately better. Before buying a new router , after a couple of 
days with the loaner I connected the old router and now it's working 
fine again with the old router. I had tried resetting and disconnecting 
and connecting the old router many times before getting the loaner and 
it didn't make a difference. The appearance, which makes no sense is 
that connecting the loaner router temporarily fixed my connection issue 
to the point I could use my old router again. Can anyone make any sense 
of this?
