When I woke up I did notice that the router had eeconnected, and had not obtained the autmatic DNS server address info, meaning that my lan
couldn't access anything other than by IP address.

I did find the DNS settings in the logs, from previous logins. I changed the router from obtaining them automatically to my manual configuartion
and it then worked.

I am just wondering why orcon has changed the login to NOT give out DNS
addresses when lots of people will be relying on it.

I did not have to power cycle.
