Belkin has just send us a statement about the router problems we've been reporting about the last couple of hours. A spokeswoman of the company states, "Starting approximately midnight on October 7, Belkin began experiencing an issue with a service configured in certain Belkin router models that causes a failure when it checks for general network connectivity by pinging a site hosted by Belkin."
"We know this issue has affected select older Wireless-N Belkin router models including F9K1102, F9K1105, F9K1113 and F9K1116.", she continues, which means not all Belkin router appear to be affected.
