My service went out and AT&T ran a diagnostic and said my router went

At the wires coming into my house I only got a reading of 2mv ac




At any rate he replaced the router and it's DC supply and all is good

Does your setup have a separate modem and router then? I've never seen
one like that. When AT&T foisted the unneeded equipment change on me the
instructions were to not send back the power supply/UPS so I kept mine
and use it to power a Netgear gigabit switch in the equipment closet and
it handles that quite nicely.




AT&T has provided me what I believe is called a gateway router with
power supply. Nothing else, though I do have my own router for my home
network.

Since I worked for a Enersys-Delaware and two previous battery
manufacturers I have plenty of UPS's and batteries here so do not need
the AT&T UPS but what the heck since AT&T did not want it I kept it.

Heck it had a good Yuasa battery in it and Yuasa was one of the
companies I had worked for previously.


BTW: I never switched jobs since 1975 but the companies I worked for
kept getting bought out.
