I'm hoping this is what caused it- i removed the ports it filtered packets out for such things
as 'finger' , in the tcp filters page,

but now I don't know what those categories were, this was yesterday, can't find any tech support or
firmware for this baby

thanks

Try pressing the small button on the bottom or side and hold it for a few seconds to reset it.

I already tried all manual resetting/unpluggging of the modem, hub, and the router, called cable company tech support, etc.- gave up and just spent $40 for a new router (what a ripoff), that I'll take back before I leave for the summer,

let me know if you can figure out how to fix it, that would be appreciated

returned the linksys, there was some hacked firmware released in April that I found, fixed things
right up on the speedstream 2601
