I have a Netgear wndr4300 router.
The following setup had been working fine for well over a year:
4 ethernet cords (2 of them are very long and go to other areas of the house)
The other day the internet randomly went out at around 11PM. I noticed that I still got internet when I went straight modem to computer. So I unplugged all 4 of the ethernet OUT cords from the modem and put them in one at at time.
The first 2 work fine as plugged in. I can even add a third. But if I plug the 4th one in, the wired and wireless internet both go out on every computer.
It is a specific cord (the longest one) that seems to cause this (altho it didn't the past year) - and the light on the router is orange as opposed to green like the other ones. (tho the manual just says "The LAN port has detected a 10/100 Mbps link with an attached
device.")
Any clue why this would be doing this? I am baffled.
I am done a hard reset on my router but same result.
