Router not responding to IP address when typed in browser
So I have two routers setup as wireless access points that both stopped responding at the same exact time. First question -- could this be because some asshole logged onto our network that had a virus on their computer? We have our network setup only for sharing our internet connection - no file server - so not many worries. Just wondering why both of them went offline at the same time. In the course of a given year anywhere from 100-200 transient computers will log onto our network. It is secured with WPA2, but they are given the password.
It was easy enough to get the first router working again.. simply had to turn it on and off. The second router is stuck up in a raised ceiling so it's going to be a pain in the ass for me to go reset. Is there any way for me to get this router to start responding when I type in its static IP address?
It is running DDRWT as its firmware.

Are they both running DHCP and NAT?
No, only the main router in the building connected to the cable modem is running DCHP.
The two that went down are configured as access points only. They have been running smoothly for months with a dozen or so meetings until this morning.
Does the web GUI still work when you enter the IP of the downed router in a browser?
Nah, this is what I meant. I was trying to access the web GUI to try and remote reset it but it wasn't working. The only other option is to go down into the spider dungeon and find a ladder to carry up 4 flights of stairs that is hopefully large enough to reach the high ceiling
Is it possible to throw the breaker it's on w/o messing other stuff up?
