so the only thing that i did that could have caused this issue was updating the firmware on the router. i ended up resetting the router back to original settings, and reset up everything like i did last night and the miner started working again. when i checked to see if a new firmware was available i saw that it was but i decided not to test reinstalling it since i dont have the time to try and fix it if that is the issue.

the firmware im currently running for my router is: Current Version : 3.0.0.4.384_10007-g8e859e9
