this is true. the dal modem has an ip of 192.168.1.1 and the router WAN ip is 192.168.1.2
These are the only two devices assigned.

As I said, until two days ago, this setup was working like a champ - and had been for some years now. The outage occurred sometime around 8-9 am and I had been online (web, email, etc) earlier.

I am convinced the issue if not here, but with Frontier, but so far cannot confirm this. The very strange set of events looking for answers from Frontier has me scrambling for assistance.
