Computerworld - AT&T Inc. has fixed a router problem that caused an outage affecting the company's EDGE and 3G networks this morning in the U.S.

Users began complaining of a widespread wireless outage as early as 5:54 a.m. EDT, according to AT&T wireless customer forums. More than 100 comments from annoyed users were posted in the forum earlier today, before the problem was resolved.

An AT&T spokesman acknowledged that the network experienced a routing problem that was corrected at around noon Eastern.

Although the spokesman said the issue largely affected customers in the Northeast, those posting comments about it in AT&T forums said they were located in Philadelphia, Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., and as far west as Wisconsin and Illinois.
