Wireless router

chump

I know there's a wireless forum but I thought I'd try here first as has more traffic.

Basically my wireless modem (a netopia 3347NWG) which has been working flawlessly with my IOL-BB connection for the last few months has decided that it doesn't want to send a wireless signal any more (well that's my diagnosis).

Basically it had been working fine with the laptops in the house (there's now 3...) but over the course of a few days it went from patchily providing signal to just not being found at all by any of them.
The problem definitely isn't with the latops, so must be with the modem.
Settings wise everything is in order. I've also brought my laptop right into the room with it, and nothing at all.
I changed and reset certain settings on the modem and checked again, no joy.
Everything is Operational according to the properties page for the modem (router) so I'm beginning to suspect that it's a physical problem.
The modem has been on for weeks now without being turned off, so I'm thinking maybe it overheated and the wireless died.
Going to try and give it a few hours break later on this evening and see if a cool-down helps it...

Any advice

I don't suppose it might be the aerial has beome loose (some of them screw or even just pull off)??

no ... and pointing it in a diff. direction or re-positioning the modem doesn't help either

did u try changing the channel it broadcasts on, there might be something new in the area on the same frequency
