Just a question I presume the router is plugged into your computer via the LAN port? If so have you swoppped your internet settings to connect via LAN?

In internet options under the Connections tab it should be set to "Never dial a connection" and then the LAN to "Automatically Detect Settings" because your router is always connected.


yeah all my settings are correct..

ive took my router back but could only get a d-link one as im on cable and all the others are for tel lines..
ive also sent my laptop back t get fixed and they cant see a prob with it all..

i can get the internet but it keeps crashing.. so i guess im gonna have to live with it..

Hope you havent gone and got what they tell you to get...i worked for that company for 2 years, the only reason netgear is supported is because thats what the guys at AOL have on their computer. Belkin are very reliable and i have setup plenty of networks with them.

if you give me a bit more of the problem i will try and help over here.

well i took the belkin router back and now have a d-link one, its seems to be working ok.. but at least 5 times a day, my internet will just go dead, i repair the connection but it doesnt work so i keep trying and trying and eventually it will come back.. when i try to repair it, it usually says unable to renew ip address, but ive tried static and dynamic, im on dynamic now, so god knows.....

Twisted who told you that you could only get Dlink? the reason I am asking is that I am on Blueyonder too and I have a netgear router which works great, I have only had a problem once in the year I have had it and it was telewest who helped me out and was connected again within 5 minutes.

it was pc world.. as thats all they had in stock..
i still dont know if its my wireless card or router, i did send my laptop back to be repaired and they checked the wireless.. but i dont know if they left it a while or just switched it on and off.
so god knows

ok your router is not the problem its your phone line

basically i was using a netgear, and have used both dlink and Linksys,

there choice brands

dlink and linksys, i think are under managment via cisco another top brand, but too expensive for my blood

netgear is the best, but again if u got a dlink or linksys, or one of the lucky few to own a cisco theres no point in changing

basically i will explain the problem, but you are going to have to verify what i say and so i will explain it all

your phone line is split into 2 lets say a high level and a low level the low level is used for your phone calls, and the high level "these are not the actuall terms btw" are used for broadband

now either ur filter is damaged which i doubt, or somthing in the house is causing a electrical disturbance to the line, this can be a burglar alarm firmware update, a sky connection gone faulty

or if you dont have such said devices plugged into your phone line and you live in a fairly new home, then it means the line junction box between u and your isp is a bit overcrowded with too many bb users, meaning when perhaps in my case, since i live in a bit of a country area, i knew whenever my neabour went online the signal from his broaband was disrupting the signal from my line inside the phone line junction box 1 mile from my home.

i knew this but because of terms and policys i phoned up pipex got a username and password for a bb account they monitor plugged in my old modem, and did a try to connect and leave connected so when i got kicked offline a certain number of times within a certain number of hours they recorded this throw this in a bt engineers face, and force them to go out and fix it for you
