After a wind-induced power outage, my Speedstream router gave up the
ghost. I can ping it, but the internal web server is fried, and DHCP
no longer worked. I performed a hard reset on it, and all status lights
aindicate it's fine, but it isn't.
I replaced it with a Netgear on sale at Staples for $30.
