And this, my friends, is why friends don't let friends buy Belkin... Apparently, you still can't fix stupid, no matter how hard you try. -Mike On Tuesday, October 7, 2014, John Neiberger <jneiberger () gmail com> wrote:
Sounds like it might have been a DNS issue of some sort. The end result was that the customer routers couldn't reach their heartbeat server, which made them think they weren't on the net. The routers would then be "helpful" and redirect all customer port 80 traffic to the router's configuration page to correct the "problem". It was a big mess that hopefully doesn't happen again. They've been making changes to their DNS this afternoon. Looks like they finally have it straightened out.

Presumably the Belkin routers perform caching DNS for the LAN clientsfor if the LAN clients use alternate DNS servers (OpenDNS, Google, your ISPs, etc) there are no longer any issues for those devices, as reportedbyseveral random people on the Internet. Over on outages, someone mentioned that heartbeat.belkin.com was unreachable from some areas, and that was causing their routers to shut down. Cheers, Steve
