Hey wonder if anyone can help me.

My internet has been fine the last while

But last night and today it keep cutting out *limited or no conectivity*. So i'm having to reset the router every 10min or so

Any ideas?
Thanks

mine says that sometimes but it still works, and i never have to reset the router

Depends on your ISP.

Could try switching off for a couple of mins and then resetting.

When i say reseting i mean just switching it off. How do i reset it?

xsmile_be_happyx · 7th February 2007, 14:19

your router should have a bit on the back of it that u push in. to reset mine i just pull the wire out and back in, then it works again, but if u have a wee thing u need to press in, u may need a pen to push into the back of it

When i do this, will i have to enter any details again? Or just switch off for 15sec + then reset and switch back on?

"limited or no connectivity" usually means theres some sort of conflict with the IP address...

this is correct, what O/S are you running? what router is it? who is ur isp?

when limited or no connectivity usally means thhat there is a conflict with IP address on the network, maybe with ur pc or other units on the network.
if nothing has changed on the network that you know of and restarting the router works but for a short i would if running xp and ur not so keyed up with pcs id use the setup a network windows wizard. OR in ur network setting have you got a static IP address, is it set to manual or automatic config

O/S - what windows are you using? 3.1, 3.11, 95,98,2000,NT, XP, Vista????

Clone · 7th February 2007, 14:31

Xp, sorry

well see how long the connection stays on, might just be some line issues in the area or they are testing the exchange in ur area =) if nothing has changed in ur own network cant see it being much of a mission to wait for it to go back to normal, hope this helps mate

I had the same problem, it got fixed for a while but then broke again. I had a belkin too, problem was it would connect sometimes but other times it was interference, also the Belkins signal wasnt very strong. So I bought a Netgear router with Mibo technology and that works fine, it has a much stronger signal.
