The router that came with my fiber-to-the-home phone/internet service has gone numb on me a couple times. It continues working as a modem and wired router. The laptop still sees its WiFi signal but can't negotiate a connection.

Power-cycling the router alone is all it takes to get back up. Other than that it's a great router -- much easier to configure than the two DSL modem/routers I've owned (neither of which included a WAP).
