Buranko 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) It's odd... Sometimes my Internet just stop working, and I have to reset my Router (Turn it off, turn it on). And it works normally again. - It's LinkSYS WRT-54G. - I have 2 Computers. - The IP address automatically configured by WinXP. - I'm using Comcast Cable Modem. - Sometimes it just once a day to reset.. - Sometimes every 10 minutes (the sickest one). I tried to update the driver, but still not works properly. - It's something to do with my windows setting? - Or need new router? (Which I believe my router is not that old). - Or... I dunno x_X Any helps? Edited April 17, 2007 by Buranko Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HopkinsProgramming 1,337 Report post Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) What are you doing on the router? Sometimes, certain activities can overload the router, depending on your configuration. Edited April 17, 2007 by HopkinsProgramming Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HopkinsProgramming 1,337 Report post Posted April 17, 2007 My friend's router got overloaded when we enabled QoS on it. It just couldn't handle the data coming at it, so it locked up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chconline 1,337 Report post Posted April 17, 2007 Try entering your router configuration page and release/renew WAN IP from there instead of resetting, so you can pinpoint down to that problem. Also check your access logs on your router. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chconline 1,337 Report post Posted April 17, 2007 I always get that problem. I just unplug/replug it back in. What router do you have? My Microsoft MN-700 (Windows CE based) rarely needs a reboot, maybe once every few months It crashed twice in a day once because of an incoming overflow though.

Buranko 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2007 And now how to: - Check the access log of the router. - To know what caused the router overload. - Release/Renew from Router Page? What is router page? A page from web browser by typing (mine) 192.168.1.1 ? I couldn't find a place to 'renew/release' the router from there. I tried from DOS command prompt, did ipconfig /release and /renew But it seems like the same. Does it something to do with the "Lease Expires" when I typed ipconfig /all in cmd?

Buranko 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2007 Aaah.. it's under "STatus".. lol. Thanks. And btw, this is a preventive method right? Because once the router is getting stupid, and disconnected from internet, I can't even open my router page =/ But this is weird... Allright then, but if there's any thought to prevent doing this from time to time.. please share. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chconline 1,337 Report post Posted April 18, 2007 You can't open the router page? Either it's your computer or likely your router crash, as you said earlier. Hmm... Any access logs (Like a flood, or QoS configs, etc) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buranko 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2007 (edited) Yes, I asked, where I could check the log? Are those another software? (flooq, QoS configs, etc) Edited April 18, 2007 by Buranko Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
