My lovely Buffalo router (model no WHR-G54s) seems to have lost the ability to accept connections via WiFi.
I've removed the power lead and left it for 10 minutes, done a reset to factory settings and changed the WPA passkey and SSID.
I've also tried it with 3 different WiFi capable computers and a variety of OS's, nothing will work.
This happened when I left my laptop on (doing updates via WiFi) when I went to the shop.
Have I missed something or is it time to get in touch with Buffalo? (It still has nearly a years warranty on it)
The 4 Ethernet ports are unaffected.
Thanks.

Just had a look and there's no firmware upgrades to try.
Looks like it's gone mammaries vertical as Bob would say.

Thanks Dave, that's what I thought.
Right PINTA as I have to drag an Ethernet cable around now.
Anyone have experience with Buffalo RMA's?

| Sorry for the double post. I was just filling out the tech support form on Buffalos website and thought I'd give it one last go before submitting the form. Pulled the power on it, rebooted and it magically works again. All WiFi anabled machines can now use the router. Very strange.

That's what I figured Alex.
Clever router than I thought it was.
