SpeedTouch 580 - Reboot Issue

[Boothy19-72]

This is more a question as to why this has happened out of curiosity.
Myself and the wife have BlackBerrys which for a long period of time quite happily connected to our home wireless router. Then, we couldn't connect even though our daughter could wirelessly connect her laptop to the router. Both our wifis were enable, but doing a manual scan it wouldnt see the router (no configuration changes had been made to either phone). On top of that, we could access all websites we wanted to except logging onto our online banking account. When attempting to logon we received a message something along the lines of cookies require enabling. Cookies were enabled along with active scripting.

My question, i rebooted the router a few days later as a last resort and everything then worked .. phones connected to the wireless router and we could log onto our bank account ... why was the router requiring a reboot the problem?

You will find out that sometimes the router loses the internet from the modem and must be restarted. It's pretty common and not out of the ordinary.

But my point is the router does not lose internet access, the laptop and our desktop all have permanent access 24/7. Our Blackberrys could not see the wireless router and she could access the bank website just not log on until the router had been rebooted?

The only thing I can tell you is that when rebooting the router it usually fixes any small issues with the wireless.
