Dan Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hey everyone,Its been a long time since I posted here! So basically, I have a problem with my router. What happens is that my router disconnects from all of the laptops on it at random intervals. To get it working again, I need to unplug the router and wait for it to reset. This happens quite frequently...at least twice per night. It can sometimes get very annoying, especially when I'm doing something on the internet that requires and internet connection. I have tried many things to remedy this problem, and none of them have worked. It is a linksys router, but I also had the same problem with a netgear router that we had before.Thanks for your help!Danny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hey stranger! Let's move this to PC Support.What model Linksys? Have you updated the firmware? Have you tried resetting to factory defaults? What happens if you connect directly to your ISP's modem? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 you could try reflashing it using the linksys firmware. If your router is compatible, reflash it with dd-wrthttp://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hi,Its a Linksys WRV200. Its not compatible with the DDWRT. Yes, I've tried updating the firmware, and yes I've put it back to factory settings. I've also turned off all securities and it still just disconnects all the computers. Its weird, because what happens is that I'm still connected to the router, but there is no Internet access, and I can't ping the router. I will try to connect straight to the modem.

Dan Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 A Comcast tech came, and they said that it was the actual modem's problem (something about the firmware not being upgraded or something). So he switched out the modem. So far everything has been running alright. I haven't had to restart the router, however, there are periods of about 1 or 2 minutes when the internet just seems like it stops, and then it works again. Its weird. Do you have any ideas?
