richcornucopia Posted January 1, 2006 CID Share Posted January 1, 2006 Can you isolate the problem to just one computer? Are you connected wirelessly? Do you have the latest firmware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuworm Posted January 1, 2006 CID Share Posted January 1, 2006 just uninstall your nic driver and reboot. Do you use any tweaking firmware for your router. What is the make and model of your router? compuworm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted January 1, 2006 CID Share Posted January 1, 2006 well i think its the router...anyways my problem is about every 30 minutes i get disconnected for about a minute and it will reconnect. it does this over and over as long as i am on. it also effects everything else connected to the router. it has only been happening since i got a new router any suggestions? What brand and model? I would make sure that you dont have a 2.4ghz phone, microwave, or something else electronic around the router to begin with. With the information I might be able to help you a little bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compuworm Posted January 2, 2006 CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 Are you running any Vanburen Cablenut settings with the Cablenut program? thanks, compuworm P.S. Who is your ISP provider and do you have your router connected to your cable modem. You might want to go to your cable modem page (type:192.168.100.1 into your browser web page address bar) and tell me what your upstream and downstream power levels are thanks.

FallowEarth Posted January 2, 2006 CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 Try direct connection to the modem to see if speeds are much better. If they are, I would look into upgrading the firmware on the router from Netgear's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuworm Posted January 2, 2006 CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 The Downstream Power level should be 0 to -15 your is a bit high. You might want to put a call in to have your line modulated. Have you checked to see if new firmware is available for your router? Anywho, what is your ISP's advertised download and upload speeds your suppose to be getting? Further, You have a NIC to which your Modem and/or router is connected. You need to find out if this is set to 10 full duplex or 100 full duplex. Press and hold down the, " Alt" key and double click your, My Computer icon. This should bring up the Device Manager Window. Look at the devices listed and click on the plus sign next to the Network Adapter. This should show you your network Card. Double click on this device and this should open your NIC window. Click the Advance tap and select, Media Type and the value should be shown. If it is set at 100Base TX full duplex try changing the setting to 10baseT full duplex. Click, OK and restart your computer and power cycle your modem and router. Then try your speed test again and post. Sincerely, compuworm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
