Sounds feasible as I am losing connectivity after a few hours. PC is on most
of the day.

But if it was a case of something expiring then I would expect it to happen
on a very consistent basis - I had this problem once last week and then it
did not do it again until today.

I am not using the wireless capabilities of the unit

At the moment all I am getting is a power on light - zilch from any other
indicators on the top. I have taken the router out of the equation full stop
at the moment and have even pulled the power cable to let it cool down
(surely not a heat problem!). Luckily I still have my software firewall
installed.

There is very little to go wrong here which is why it is puzzling. Any other
thoughts?
