Problem with linksys WAG354G & internet

I've been connected to the internet successfully via my linksys WAG354G
router for some time now, last night the connect just went dead.

My computer can still connect to the router without any problems, I can
still access the setup IP etc, it's just the router that cannot connect
to the internet.

I have checked the settings, reset the router, unplugged it etc. The
wireless lights and the DSL light come on, but not the internet light.

There is nothing wrong with my ISP, I have rang Orange and they say it
is fine, I am able to connect to broadband using my old USB Speedtouch
modem.

Any ideas what could be wrong or is the router dead?

I've entered my username and password several times to make sure that
it is correct, my username is roonster.wanadoo.co.uk@fs the @fs is
required to connect to Orange broadband.

Is there any way to access logs that might tell me what is wrong, I've
check the logs from the administration menu but they don't tell me
anything...

The router settings as provided by orange, they are identical to what I
have entered previously without trouble:

router settings

If you choose to use an Ethernet modem / router, the correct connection
settings are:

encapsulation:

PPP over ATM

multiplexing method:

VC-Based

virtual circuit:

VPI=0
VCI=38

modulation:

Multi mode

authentication:

CHAP



Thanks for any help!!

Very possible that your router is dead. By your comments I assume
that you connect the PC directly to the modem and connect to the
internet just fine..

Cheers!

Try a hard reset of the router.

I take it you mean a hold down the reset button and power cycle WAG354G
as opsed to a soft reset

My wag54gs sometimes loses the Internet conection (2 or 3 times in 3
months) on demon normaly just power cycling the router works.

One thing to try would be a diferent cable between the router and the
phoneline/filter as i would imaginine the usb has its own captive cable.
