Connection Dropping with Router


Recommended Posts

i have windows 2000 and a linksys router hooked up to my cable and the connection is dropping alot about every hour. The cable company said i have a good signal and the modem i got is now 2 days old. Also i know my nic card works because i can still see computers on my network. So im wondering is there any way to tell if my router is bad. Becuase io know the cables are good too. I tested them.

unplug the modem, it has to reset the IP (least mine does)

I have AT&T Broadband. My Internet connection started dropping every hour . . . on the hour from 20 minutes past until 30 minutes past. I also own my own modem, and run a Netgear router. It was always at 20 minutes past . . . not 21 . . . not 19.

I called AT&T and they blamed my equipment. However, I was having the problem with their equipment as well, prior to purchasing my own, and told them so.

The very next day . . . the problem went away and has not returned since.

Imagine that.

I had the same problem with Bellsouth.net dsl access and the Linksys router, every hour or so it would drop my offline, I replaced the router with a different brand, SMC, and have month long uptimes now.
