Mysterious bug in Belkin routers is kicking people off the internet >> Gigaom

This morning a lot of people who own Belkin routers woke up to find they had no access to the internet. While their devices were connecting to their Wi-Fi networks and their modems were connecting to their ISPs, the router and modem seem to be suffering from communication breakdown. The problem is affecting at least Belkin router models in the U.S. and other regions or the world regardless of ISP.
Belkin has acknowledged there is a problem with its older routers, and it's posted a workaround on its site.
