"could not bring up link" error

just happened to look up at my router only to see the internet light is red.
"Last Error Message: Could not bring up link"\
broadband light is green so line appears to be fine.
14Mbps down, 1.2Mbps up sync speed.
checked phone line, dial tone fine.
rebooted router.
anything else to check?

Check the login details and input them in manually as the router may have got it's knickers in a twist

Tried that also.
It's not giving an  authentication failure though

Re: "could not bring up link" error

Got the same problem up here in the Highlands. Everyone I know on Plusnet fibre is currently down. It's clearly a major service outage I'm afraid!

Re: "could not bring up link" error

Maybe the BT update is relevant?

Re: "could not bring up link" error

Gotta say the North of the UK could really mean anywhere and is very vague of BT really. Bit more like a weather forecast..

Re: "could not bring up link" error

I'm in Edinburgh on ADSL and my connection went down around 7.40pm...phoned Plusnet and they told me it was a BT Network outage in the North of England and Southern Scotland....just got back online 10 mins ago.
That was horrible...felt like I lost a limb lol  Grin
