I've just spent several hours trying to figure out why my connections (both internet and home network) had slowed to a crawl.

Finally tracked it down. The router was going bad. And failed completely shortly after I confirmed that it was a problem.

Now, being a bright geek, I'd long ago picked up a spare. Identical make/model. So all I'd have to do is hook it up and load the saved config, right?

Unfortunately, I'd already done that a few months back. And hadn't gotten around to sending the original unit back for repair ($75)

So now both the master and the spare were dead. I dragged out another router from the junk box, only thing is, I can't even *do* some of the config stuff that I could with the other. And a few things I can do, have to be done a lot differently. Argh...
