It’s not that hard, but about 4 times a day the internet stops working and i have to unplug the modem and router, plug the modem in, wait until all 4 lights iluminate, then plug in the router… wtf… ---

Wierd, you should almost never need to touch either. Check for firm-ware updates, if applicable. If not see if the same issue occurs with the computer directly plugged in. ---

I remember those days of powerlink. That shit used to drive me crazy too. Ultimately one of the reasons why I dumped Adelphia. They always blamed it on my router even when it still did it when I bypassed the router. They even sent me a new modem and the shit still happened. It is very frustrating. ---

the modem might be losing sync with the server due to problems, maybe schedule a trouble call for a faulty modem. what modem do you have? motorola surfboard? ---

I had a Linksys and then a D-Link, they both did the same thing… so fucking annoying. Tried updating the firmware/software on them, it didn’t help. Just upgraded to a newer Netgear model, no problems… 100% strong connection so far (about 2 weeks straight now). Some of the old ones are prolly just junk. But check to make sure you’re getting the best available one for whatever cpu’s you have. We have a few HP laptops here, and whatever integrated wireless they use - the Netgear’s were made to work better for them… plus the Netgear card in my desktop = FTW. ---

i’ve had that problem with every router i’ve had. just needed to either update the firmware and/or replace the firmware i tell most people to return it to the store for an exchange though since i’m pretty sure they aren’t supposed to come messed up, and no one has had an issue with the replacement… i’m just too lazy to return anything. ---
