My router doesn't seem to want to work anymore. It's been more or less okay for the 80 levels I've been using it for, but all the sudden it went cupput just about when I hit lv80. I seemed to of lost the disk that it came with, so I can't troubleshoot. Anyone know why I may be having troubles?

Turn it off/unplug it. Leave it off for 1-5 minutes, then turn it back on.

Something as stupid as this actually worked. I thought that was just an old wives' tale...

That's what power cycling is, unplugging the power cord for a few moments and plugging it back in http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif What happens is that the tables need refreshing from time to time and power cycling forces it to reload that info and it also resyncs the data signal. Power cycling is the first thing you should do when you have connection issues.
