That reminds me of a problem I had with my Verizon internet. It completely stopped working. Called Verizon and they said to turn their modem off and turn it back on again. Problem resolved.
quick. cheap. easy. sounds like me !
if only life were that easy - lol!
During my past 10 years in technical support I can honestly say that powering devices off, waiting a few seconds, and powering them back on was the best fix for a huge number of problems. If all else fails, reboot.

I've done the same thing with numerous things and also, with computer stuff, i.e, printers and the like, sometimes you have to uninstall them and reinstall them. Seems all that stuff comes with gremlins or ghosts and we have to continually battle them.
Case in point, I moved my desktop Dell across the room a total of 6 feet. Also had to move the printer. The printer refused to work. Had to uninstall it completely and when I reinstalled it, the stupid program program installed it twice. The only copy that will work is not the original, only the (copy 1). Makes me nuts but at least it works.
Another strange thing. I have a Kodak camera/printer dock and it invariably decides to be the primary printer. No matter what I do or how many times I do it, it will always come up as the default printer and I have to reset it to my dell all-in-one every single time. The Kodak just take over my entire system. It's not even connected right now but the software will still set it as my default. MAKES ME NUTS!!!
