In a new weird precedent in wifi technology, a disturbingly large number of belkin routers all over the world have stopped working. I've heard several reasons cited, from secret firmware updates gone bad, to odd Y2K-esque date related glitches. Whatever the reason, Belkin has yet to put out a public statement, and this has been going on since 1 or 2 am.

Apparently some users have had success manually setting the DNS address of their PC to use Google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) for now. See HERE for updated information.
