help - router disconnects !!!!!!!!
 

wtf is this, it started about 3-4 days ago, I get disconnected 2-3 times a day

It's a Billion 5102 ADSL router, downloaded new firmware, checked for spyware on my PC, running a virus check ATM, it is not heating up though, any ideas???

Or should I just go and get a new one tomorrow? I think this one is about year and a half old, Google didn't help me much either.

oh, and after it disconnetcs I can not even access the router itself, after rebooting everything's ok??????

you are sure it is the router?
not the modem?

it's a modem/router, are there any setting that I should check/change????

Yes, that sounds like what happened to me a year or so ago and it was th modem not router, was a pain in the ass 3-4times a day esspcially trying to ftp etc, knocked it right off :( How old is modem?

did you install the firmware via a exe. file or by accessing the router itself?

it wasn't an exe, I did it trough the router, it was 'res' file or something of the sort, got it from the official site too (billion.com)

hmm weird...

you called the support already?

this is basically one thing that is a modem and a router, it's about a year old

I acn only call my ISPs support but they're not the ones that sold me the router, the guys that I got it from only open tomorrow, I guess I'll have to buy a new one

Right now I unplugged it from my 'main' pc, and plugged it to another one, so if it's some fuckware on my HD that should fix it for now, afer Googling I found out that most of the people that had the same problem fixed by doing one of the two things: updating the firmware or formating the HD

bump here!

I would suggest calling the Manufacturer.:2 cents: :2 cents:

routers do that all the time, they just lsoe conection after a certain period, just unplug both modem and router for 1 min, shutdown comps, plug back in modem, wait till its conencting, plug in router and boot comps.

If you lose your connection constantly, its rather a problem with your connecting line/station. I guess you are on adsl or?

try using DHCP
