Members, thanks for the advice. I have tried all suggested solutions, but no
luck. This is obviously a strange problem to me. Router still do no respond
to any keystrokes at all. Below is the output when I reloaded router

This is as far as I can go. No router> or router# prompt at all. No response
from the router with the keystrokes. Any advice is welcomed. Thanks members
