Asking for help/advise again.

My at&t/thunderbird will only receive emails if unplugged from the router and plugged directly into the internet. I know there must be some setting I have missed changing but cannot find it. EVERYTHING else works with my router and receiving email did once also. Any help will be appreciate.

1. By chance

Are you using both ether net and wifi at the same time??

2. Yes but always have.

This changed when I downloaded new TB. Well, I went back to old TB, cleaned out my profile, doubled checked and reset all the pop settings, etc. Get the emails just fine on my phone and at my daughter's house in CO and my other daughter's house in Austin so the problem is somewhere within my router/AT&T connection. Since I can send emails just fine using AT&T/TB. there has to be a blockage/firewall some place with my router for receiving. So several times daily, I go into my office and plug in the computer directly to the internet and get those emails. Luckily I have two other addresses I use more with no problem. BTW, thanks for helping.
