That's a little strange in itself. If you're running ping plotter from your PC the default gateway which would be your router should show up just like any other hop along the path.
I agree that it's a little odd, but it seems that most Dlink routers do this for some reason. I've never bothered to figure out why.
FWIW, I never heard back yesterday, so I don't know the status of anything. However, yesterday afternoon, I did see 2 line trucks running up and down the street.
