If your router is complety disconnected, you powered down your PC and modem and then rebooted such that the only connections are ethernet direct between the modem and PC, the problem is either the PC itself is up to no good, or the modem is getting an incorrect signal from the cable network.

I assume you are satisfied your PC is patched currently, free if viruses, spyware and that sort of stuff. You are using current drivers for the network card too.

I assume too you do not have any p2p type software running.

If the above applies it's time for a call to ntl faults. Leave the PC as it is directly connected to the modem, nothing else connected to the modem. Don't confuse them with the network (ntl wont support it anyway). Just say you have unplugged the network, rebooted everything and the problem persists, y9ou now only have a PC directly connected via ethernet to the modem. Describe precisely the fault and ask the operator to check the signal levels. Don't be fobbed off by them failure that frequently is just not acceptable.

hm i ve had modem connected directly for hours now and its fine soon as i connect router back up within 5 mins connected led flashes and i loose internet , power is still on to the router and all ntl modem lights are as should be.

Oh, OK, so no problem when there is no router used, but problme if it is being used.

When you are doing nothing on your PCs indeed, they are powered off, does the router to modem connection still fail?

akane1984 · 05-08-2005, 20:58

i honestly havent' looked while PCs are off. i had old 11mbps belkin before got 54g one and after time it started to randomly d/c today

Only reasons why a router would cause a problem with modem is a physical fault with it, or too much traffic through it overloading the cable conection.

Presumably the router is operating in default mode, manufacturar's settings (don't worry about securtity and stuff initially, get it working first, then add the niceties. Are there any firmware upgrades available from the Belkin site?

akane1984 · 05-08-2005, 23:26

yes i got latest firmware; found on another forum that Belkin recommend you use channel 6 and a belkhome type of ssid, i was on channel 11, have changed to 6 and now connected light is solid, for now!!
