I have been having problems connecting to my verizon ADSL lately using my D-Link DI-704P router, but either rebooting it, or unplugging it for a minute solved the problem. Today it would not connect to my modem at all despite multiple reboots, unplugging it for over an hour, and a factory reset. I could access the router's configuration page, but under the status section, it showed 0.0.0.0 for the IP address, and the log displayed several connection attempts, all failed. No settings have been changed recently, and I updated with the latest firmware (still current) a few months ago.

I am currently connected with my modem directly connected to this computer.

Is there anything else I can check before calling it quits on this router?

If it doesn't seem hopeful, I've had thoughts of making a linux router. Any info on doing this?
