Problem-Local Area Connection every so often shows 'Network cable
disconnected' and seconds later shows 'Connected'.
DLink suggested I assign a static IP address; lock down to 10mbps;
disable UPnP; Change the PREAMBLE to Short; Lock down the TX rate on
the Access Point/Router to 2 Mbps to establish a connection; reduce
number of Virtual Servers.
I assigned a static IP and trying that now. Is there any drawback
with
doing this? Also, do not fully understand Virtual servers and which
ones I need or do not need.

I am having the same problem. I brought the router in to work with me
to test it with a different computer and away from my house. Thing
worked perfectly "with the wi-fi set to enabled". Took it back home and
it started again. So, I unhooked everything from the router except one
computer and even changed NIC's, same thing. So, I disabled the wi-fi
part in the config and I didn't get anymore disconnects. Interesting.
I spoke with a friend of mine that has the same router and he asked me
if I had a cordless phone running @ 2.4 GHz. I told him I didn't, I
have one using 900 MHz. He said he gets interfernece from his and his
phone IS 2.4 GHz.
That got me wondering, since I had disconnected everything from the
router and only had one PC hooked up to it, and I don't have a 2.4 GHz
phone, what could be making it drop the connections at my place. Only
thing I can think of is that my Dish Network Super Dish is just outside
(probably no more than 5 feet from the router). I am wondering if this
is the problem. It is certainly attributble to the wi-fi portion of the
router.
Next step, move the router across the house to a different computer and
turn the wi-fi part back on. |
