<div class="IPBDescription">acting wierd..</div> well, the thing is we got 3 computers hooked up to a linksys router, and up until a few days ago it all went well and we were all surfing happily on the www and gaming and enjoying all the pleasures of the internet... but now, it has turned into a pure living hell taunting us all the time...


my problem is that it keeps disconnecting us, but only for like.. 2 or 3 secs at a time, then there's a few minutes with internet, then it disconnects for a couple of secs again... and it's been doing that for a couple of days now, any of this happend to any of you guys ?

    Are you on xDSL?

    If so, check to see if you're losing line synch - the router should have a light on it called LINK, ADSL, or LINE. If that's flashing, chances are its lost synch.

    If not, call your ISP and ask them to check their radius logs to see if your router is giving a reason for disconnecting.

    Plug your modem out and plug it in after arround 30-60 secs. That might help.

    ...i had something VERY similar.

    internet worked
    internet down for ~60 seconds
    internet worked
    etc.


    we never figured out why
    (linksys router, wireless DSL from Loganet.net)

    Borrow a router from someone else and see if it does the same thing. If not, then get a new router (if it bugs you that much). If it does, then try your router at someone else's place and see if it does the same thing, to see if it's your connection that's acting up.

    I've had a similar problem also. Turned out to be my isp having issues with their DNS.
    It resolved itself tho.

    When the net stops working, is it everything? Including IRC/Msn/things that get connected to a server and stay connected?

    My cousin had this and it turned out that it was his routers firewall that reacted violently towards msn messenger, causing it to block all internet traffic for a short time for some reason. Switching over to miranda IM solved most of the problems.

    Do you have another router you could try?
    Sounds to me like its either damaged or possibly overheating (tho thats just a guess, dunno how hot it will need to get before it 'overheats')

    We used to have a problem similar to that. Unplugging for 60 seconds would do the job for a good few hours. That was on the old router.
