Anybody Having Trouble Today?

This sure sounds like some router problems.
Maybe NAT or some needed ports not opening up.

And, now both lines are lit up - I didn't do anything at all.

As previously mentioned: My config is the RT31P2 being directly connected to my UVerse router with UDP ports 5004-65000 forwarded to the RT31P2.

I'm not too familiar with UVerse, but if they use a router, as we know it, you may be double natting or conflicting something when you connect one router behind the other.

Have you checked with support. I'm sure by now that they have gained some experience with connecting those customers who have UVerse.

I'm not too familiar with UVerse.

And that's a very good thing.

And that's a very good thing.

Bad experience I take?

I'm running Uverse at home and do not have any problems with numerous, numerous, numerous devices behind the UVerse gateway.

Russell:

I am curious as to if the recent experience could be related to any kind of updates and or network pushes that they have been doing recently.

In the last 24 hours I've noticed a couple of things (this could be completely coincidental, or irrelevant, however - just some observations).

Last night around midnight CST and PST (the reason I say this) is because it happened for me here locally in Houston at midnight and then later for a friend at midnight PST, there was a loss of connection for about 5-10 minutes.

Earlier today from three separate AT&T locations (UVerse & DSL) (in different geographic locations) Facebook.com was unaccessible.*

* Let me add it was specific to AT&T... I could access it from alternate networks.

Just some personal observations... not sure if there is any relevancy to your recent experience.
