That was the timeout thingy I mentioned earlier. If you set it to |
| 8 |
"always on" the timer should be disabled, and hence you don't need |
| 9 |
to set the timer at all. |

I can't recall if resetting my router erases *all* of such user |
| 12 |
settings, but I think it does -- including the password, BTW, |

I recently learned something interesting from an ATT support tech |
| 15 |
(in India): resetting (i.e. rebooting) the router by pushing the |
| 16 |
little button with the end of a paperclip is *not* equivalent to |
| 17 |
disconnecting/reconnecting the power and *then* pushing the reset |
| 18 |
button. |

I.E. there is some state of the internal hardware that is not reset |
| 21 |
by pushing the reset button on the router. I had tried everything |
| 22 |
I could think of *except* powering off the DLS modem and the router |
| 23 |
at the same time, and then letting both power up again. That fixed |
| 24 |
everything. |

I imagine these annoying quirks will differ between products, so |
| 27 |
we all may need different bags of tricks to fix such problems. |
