The router is out of service, not powered. Is there any way to diagnose it at this point, or would I have to place it back in service and observe a repeat of the problem? Or is the problem not in the router at all; just coincidence that it went away when I removed the router? Clearly I need some very basic understanding of how all these things operate.
