Does powering off and on the WiModem232 then reconnect to the router? If not, the router is not allowing the re-connection. Since you are hard coding the IP in the router, you do have the WiModem232 set to a static IP as well? If not, and the router renews its lease (after some pre-set time) all devices will go back through DHCP and may not end up with the same IP they were before which could move the IP address of the WiModem232 to something other than you might be expecting. Setting a static IP is the only way to avoid this issue.
