Trendnet wireless router b/g/n about 4 years old I guess. Working ok earlier today I ran out to the store come back and my WWW is dead, firefox, chrome wouldn't load server not found, however the whole time AIM was running just fine, noone played with any settings while I was away just seemed to of died on its own, any idea's?  

I'm leaning towards just replacing it, seems like 4 years is a good run I used linksys before this one and went through one every 2-3 years, its been on 24/7 since I got it.

If I replace any recommendations for a good sub $100 router? Laptop, PS3, Cell phone run off the wifi, desktop and 360 run wired.

sounds like a dns issue.

you powercycled all your equipment. (modem and router)  and it still didn't come online?

Yep thats how I'm on now, after cycling everything on and off, even tried replacing the cat6 cables, after that and went for the direct to modem connection to see if it was a modem problem which its not if I'm on now.

And I thought that I was the only one with this issue. My wireless routers die out every 2-3 years.

But they are cheap and plentiful. A quick trip to Office Depot and maybe $60....back online.

Right now I'm running a Netgear and have have no issues in 2+ years (first series wireless N).
