Cable Forum - View Single Post - Linksys Router keeps knocking me offline when I change settings?

Hi guys,

I bought a Linksys BEFSRv4 or was it v5 about 2 weeks ago.

Question I had was, everytime I change a setting in the router configuration and click save settings, it comes up with a message in the bottom right of the screen saying "network cable unplugged" and it came up with my local area network icon with a red cross through it, then about 4/5 seconds later the red cross disappears and the connection stabilises again.

This is quite annoying as it closes my MSN Messenger or my mIRC.

Is there a way of stopping this happening? its driving me barmy :/ this even happens when I do something like add ports to the port forwarding screen, this didnt use to happen on my Belkin router :/

Thanks.
