It seems as if the desktop-system cannot find the router via cable after boot...
If, after boot, I open a browser and want to connect to 192.168.1.1 (which should be the router) it's not found...
Any chance this desktop with the wired connection is connected to the router's WAN (outside) port?
(That port is designed to be connected to your up-stream, but if your wifi router sits INSIDE your network (as mine does), and is protected by another gateway router (perhaps provided by your ISP), then it really doesn't matter which port of your router is connected to the desktop except that:
1) it won't serve it's web interface toward what it believes to be the WAN port, 2) it possibly won't answer pings on the wan port (or any port).
Upon reboot, routers often re-configure their WAN side port as a LAN side port if they can't reach the internet on it.

Sure I don't get insulted, John, I'm grateful for anything that could better the situation... However I don't really understand... how I can find out, if I switched the cable into the WAN or LAN port....? There are 4 ethernet jacks, and it makes no difference to which I connect the cable (except that another, the corresponding, little light on the router is lighted). It was always connected like this, for Should I check something in some 5 years, but the problem started some months ago, without changing something physically, only tons of OS updates, of course... Should I double-check something in the routers web interface?
