There was a thread on switch problems with this router a couple of weeks
back.

How's the human powered Habinero?

Try blowing the sawdust out of it. I had the same problem. Cleared right
up.

I had the same problem. Took the housing off to get at the switch. Once I
got the switch apart, cleaned the offending sawdust out of it and
reinstalled. Works great since. Took me about an hour because I had no idea
where the problem was or what I was doing. Probably take 15 minutes next
time.
