Cannot log in on one character only after crash (POL-3001)

[Aquilees]

It seems like we all have at least one dead zone. Check this out, Tahrongi Canyon is my dead zone, I get stuck on a time out there every singe time. So I go over to my brothers house and try to log in and it works, so I move myself out of the zone. But when I enter Port Sandoria on his network i get the time out and cannot log back in. Port Sandoria is fine on my network though, so we both have a separate dead zones. Mine Tahrongi Canyon and his Port Sandoria. I reconfigured my router following the directions as well and that did not help. Honestly though, how can any of us believe that all of this is just coincidence and we all have a router blocking a specific zone for each of us that worked just fine before the latest update. Does it not seem like its very much possible that there is a hardware malfunction on your end Square Enix? It just does not seem logical that so many routers can have the same problem at the same time covering so many different zones.

For those of you who are still stuck, I'm pretty sure that if you can get yourself logged into the game on a network other than your own you will be able to move your character from that zone. And then do your best to not go back there.

*Edit* I should clarify that when I got my character out of Tahrongi Canyon i logged in as a guest user using my brother's computer with his installed copy of final fantasy XI and not my own. Not sure if that matters, it might though.
