    Do the administrative tools for your router show any significant change in transmission statistics, or are there any warnings, errors, or information items in your event logs that are internet- or network-related?

    Yeah since you've done several restarts after the reg cleaning and you experience the problem now I don't think the cleaning is causing this. But I guess you can try to revert to you backup if by tomorrow the problem is not fixed. Might be a good idea to call your ISP too.
