I didn't try a full reset on the router. I admit it could be internally damaged. Just gave it back and replaced it with a switch.

Nevertheless I still wonder why a router is preferable to a switch. I mean, what should be taken in consideration when choosing a router vs. switch? Manual shows no reference to this. Just mentions that a router is better but sometimes a switch is preferable. Like you stated: "usually routers are better". Why? What should to be taken in consideration by the final user when deciding what to use?

Anyway my problem's fixed. But this could be good reference to other fellow users.

Regards & thanks,
