EvilSwine Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I recently bought the Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO Router, and managed to set up a 3 computer network with 1 PC and 2 Macs. It worked fine at first, but in consistently loses the connection to the internet. I called Belkin, and they told me to unplug and then replug it, so i did and it worked...but it keeps doing it. I have read up on this problem and have seen others with the same problem, but no one has managed to find a solution, any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and this is my first post, yay!

shanenin Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Welcome to BestTechie.net :-)You may want to try updating the firmware. If you goto belkin support, then navigate to your router. their should be some links to updating the firmware. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EvilSwine Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I don't have any software installed, it shouldn't be required. Does installing the Firmware make a difference though? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 The firmware is the programming inside the router that allows it to run. It is not installed on your computer, it is actually installed directly on the router. Firmware can be buggy just like any other software. The buggy firmware can cause the router to malfunction. If you update the firmware(reprogram your router), it may make the router run better. their is always a chance updating the firmware can cause a problem, so be careful and follow the directions closely.

EvilSwine Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Alright, that makes alot more sense to me now that i know what Firmware is, lol. Thanks for the info, i'll try it. If you haven't realized yet, i'm not really that knowledgable when it comes to computers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EvilSwine Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 (edited) I tried updating my firmware, but there's no new firmware available...I have no f*ing idea what to do...I called Belkin, and all they told me was to check the settings, and everything looked fine...So everything looks fine, but it's not working correctly. Is there anything else I can do? Edited August 2, 2007 by EvilSwine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWolf4 Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I have had the same problem with belkin tried updating the firmware /unplugging it / even used the reset button in the end I took it back and got a replacement one, told them its faulty, that fixed the problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
