Internet Drops Repeatedly But Roommate Can Still Log On
Aug 28, 2011
Recently (for the last 2-3 weeks) my internet connection has been dropping. However my roommates does not. I'm afraid this may be more of a computer issue then a network issue, but I feel that you all know much more than I. [code]
I have a D-Link WBR-1310 modem and for some reason the internet connection drops every 4-5 minutes and then comes back after 30 seconds.I don't know what the problem is. I tried resetting the modem which didn't work. I tried upgrading the firmware from D-Link's website but it says "The version of setting file is not compatible." for the .bin file.
I have wireless router F5D9230-4. I use this every day to connect to my employer's corporate network from my home, using a VPN connection via Cisco AnyConnect Mobility Client.
Just about every day my VPN connection is interrupted and, although it "thinks" it is connected, it loses connectivity to my company's corporate resources. This occurs even though I'm connected to my router using a Cat5 cable. While this VPN connection is lost, my Internet connection keeps working.
When I use the same computer, even wireless, connected through other networks outside of my home, the VPN connection is never lost (or at least never that I remember).
When I wire my computer directly to my cable modem, this problem does not occur and my VPN connection stays connected throughout the day.
Note that I reset my wireless router to all default settings other than the password to access its management utility, to avoid any "weird settings" coming into play.
I wonder if this has to do with "VPN Passthrough" or the windows 7 firewall conflicting with my router's firewall?
I've been working with the IT department at my job for weeks on this and a resolution doesn't seem to be coming from that direction. I'm on calls every day that use this VPN connection and it's to the point where these VPN connection losses are embarrassing to me.
I have a WRT310N V2 wireless router, with a WMP600N dual-band PCI card in my computer, using Vista 64x. I have had the same set-up for the past year or so, even after moving to a new apt, which I have been in now for 3 months. It has worked perfectly, up till recently. Over the past week however, my router has been dropping the connection, to the point of having to wait for it to show back up in my connections list. I made no changes to my setup, prior to the problems. I am kind of doubting it's my wireless card, as I can still see other routers. I have tried changing the MTU size, the Threshold, made sure the firmware was up to date, etc. I re-installed the drivers for my NIC and even changed ports, just to be on the safe side. I don't know what else to do, except go out and get another router. I have to use wireless, as I have nowhere to run cables at. I had this problem before with a Linksys wireless router, but figured it was due to the extreme amount of bandwidth my game uses online. Ironically, both routers are doing the same thing. They hit lag every 60 seconds almost on the money. I'm a gamer, so this is a huge inconvenience for me.

I have set up this modem correctly as it will occasionally sync and internet will be connected for a short time 5-10 seconds then loses sync.Have asked ISP to check line and they say it is fine. I have upgraded to current firmware but same result.I purchased for wireless N and print server features.Have reverted back to 4+ year old Netgear DG834GV which works perfectly with same cabling, filter etc. ISP suggest connect VG3631 on ADSL 1 but if I need to do that I may as well take it back and buy a cheaper wireless AP.I also set my existing Netgear as modem only and connected to EWAN port of VG3631 and it did the same thing (kept dropping connection), this suggests that it is a VG3631 hardware or software problem (completely separate to DSL/Line issues).
My xp computers recently gave up. So, I bought a new one (windows 7).
When I had my new computer plugged directly into my modem, there was no problem; I could easily connect to the internet.Yet, when I plugged the modem into my router (WRT54GS) and then plugged the router into the computer, I repeatedly encountered: Error 651.
The new computer has a built-in wireless adapter. So, I was able to disconnect the router and try to re-connect via a wireless connection. Yet, dispite being able to connect to my "network", the computer was not able to connect to the internet; again, I received the dreaded Error 651 message.I tried using the installation disk, but it would not work, either.
I have an HP Pavilion dv7 laptop running Windows 7 (64bit) SP1. Recently, my computer was attacked by some really nasty malicious software. Nasty enough that it not only got past my security software, it permanently disabled it.I was still unable to repair/replace my security software. Finally, the support tech just gave up on me, and I ended up utilizing the restore feature provided by HP to restore my laptop, supposedly to factory condition. After the restore, everything works great except for my mapped drive.
Every few minutes my WGR614v6 loses connection to the cable modem though the wireless in-house is strong. Cable modem being reset does not work. Resetting netgear router brings us back online but only for a few minutes. Have replaced power supply to router and it is still occurring.We have a desktop and 2 laptops online. Also, the notebooks always drop to 18mbps while the desktop stays at 54mbps.
My computer has developed a habit of spontaneously having no internet connection even though it says the signal is as strong as it can be. When I began to investigate the issue I ran some diagnostics and the Internet IP ping test failed. I have no idea what that means or how to fix it. I did do a ipconfig/all on a c prompt and have the results I can post if anybody wants to see that. Beyond this I can't lend much more except to say that when it happens I can click on the troubleshooting and while it is trying to determine what the problem is (usually takes at most 30 seconds) the issue resolves itself and I can resume doing what I was doing. Last night was the worst it ever has been I had to restart my computer completely but once it had gone through the boot process and was in Windows again it was fine.
So i have AT&T dsl internet. but whenever i connect my computer wirelessly to the modem and get on the internet it repeatedly loses dsl connection every some odd minutes. the dsl light on my modem turns off, then blinks red, then fixes itself for five or so minutes until the cycle restarts. ive tried 2 wireless usb adapter and 1 internal wireless card. none have worked at all. but if its wired with an ethernet cord it works fine. we also have 2 other laptops that connect wirelessly and work fine. i dont understand what would cause this solely on my computer. ive also had AT&T come to my house and look at it and they said its fine, the issue is somewhere in my computer messing with the modem.
I am having problems with my wireless internet. I am using windows 7 64-bit OS and am connected to a WRG614v6 Netgear router. I will be on the internet and will have superb connection then my connection will drop, when i view the network it says that i have lost IPv4 connectivity. Pulling the power to my router then powering it on again fixes the problem for a hour or two but then connection is lost again.Here is the readout when connection is stable

Recently my wireless router has started disconnecting again and again...Whenever I connect it to my desktop and laptop (sometimes iphone), it disconnects in between which causes a lot of delay .The work which could be completed in minutes takes hours. Here is my current system log from the router : code...
I purchased this router a few months ago(wrt54g2 v1.0) when I moved into st louis missouri. My ISP is charter communications. I am using windows 7 64 bit.I had no problems with this router with wired connections, however my wireless devices would drop repeatedly. I updated the firmware to the latest linksys version, but still same issue.After much research online and trying everything I could through linksys, I found a page that someone with the same problem said it could be solved by upgrading to dd-wrt freeware firmware. After much trials and problems, I finally got it installed. However I did not like dd-wrt because it would not allow FTP access no matter what i tried, and would lead to dropouts of wired connetions even though it did fix the wireless.I then decided to revert back to the previous firmware - this is where i think i messed up..I downloaded tftp and a firmware called vxworkskiller, this was supposed to be able to break the dd-wrt firmware which it did, and removed it. I continued to follow the instructions provied to me and was able to then install the linksys firmware but I accidentally upgraded the firmware for the router WRT54GS with the firmware version 7.50.2. This is now dropping both wired and wireless connections VERY frequently. My roomate is not happy as we have to power cycle the modem, router and pc's every couple of hours and sometimes that doesn't even work.I am unable to flash firmware of any version or type anymore, every upgrade fails weither I use the linksys gui, or tftp or any previously working firmware. All fail.
we have a Cisco 1801 at one of our remote sites that uses an ADSL line for it's primary connection and ISDN as backup. Despite no apparent problems with the ADSL line the ISDN is repeatedly dialling the internet every 2-3 mins during office hours and considerable expense to the customer.
My computer is on a direct connection with a docsis 3 modem - with service provided by Comcast. I had no problems with the internet for about a month after signing up with Comcast at 6Mbps. Then out of no where the internet began to drop out whenever in use. When the computer is connected to the internet, and I am not actually using "bandwidth" the connection stays connected, all day with no blips. But when I try to access Youtube or some other site they demands bandwidth it drops out. Comcast has sent out 7-8 Techs to troubleshoot the issue to no avail. They have replaced the modem 3 times, the ethernet cable (is that the right word?) has been replaced, and Comcast cut holes into my walls to re-wire the entire building. I just had a guy leave from Comcast, and when he hooked up his laptop to this modem he had absolutely no problem. Then he hooked up a router, and we both used direct connect to get on the internet, and as long as his computer was connected the signal was strong with no blips. We removed his computer and the connection dropped within a few minutes. Comcast says they have verified the integrity of all their equipment, cables, splitters, main line, ect...I even tried backing up my machine and reformatting it and I still have the same issue. I've always been good about not getting virus or spyware. I have no idea why only my PC won't stay connected to the internet. Oh, also the Comcast tech hooked up a meter to the cable line and he says when the internet drops out on my end that the cable signal is still strong with no blips. When the modem goes out all the lights drop out and it has to re-identify, then it comes back up for a few minutes, only to spiral down and disconnect.
I live in an apartment, and I have a usb adapter that allows me to get on the internet wirelessly. The apartment I am at has a club house that offers free internet to people here who don't have it. If I plug in my adapter I can get a signal from the club house's wireless, and I can connect to that, and I have no problems at all on the apartments club house internet, only on my direct connect form my Comcast modem..
My internet connction gets disconnected with in 1 hour . local area connection shows packets reciev and sent are in millions in 10 minuts . do i have a virus ?? or becouse of bytes sent and resived so much my internet gets disconnected. after disabling and reanabling my local area connection i can again use my net for some time.
So the best way to explain this is if im on the internet i wont really notice it because it happens so fast and im on the page. also its wireless internet.If i play for example league of legends il be fine then il be reconnecting then im back but the reason im reconnecting is because my connection dropped for a second.IF i open say an online game and i open a stream watching someone. Either the stream will turn off or the game will disconnect or ill get kicked from both.Ive gone into command prompt and done ping google.com and stuff sometimes its perfect then i do it again it misses 2 with time out then i do again its perfect then again time out again time out then perfect its really annoying.I recently started playing a new game and il be running then disconnect from the servers because my connection dropped for a second and ive rang bt and stuff have 2 new hubs. switch phone lines replaced filters still dont know whats going on.
I have an ADSL 2+ connection that constantly seems to be dropping at random intervals for no particular reason that i can tell anywhere from 3 to 20 times a day for over 6 months.I have a Dlink DIR-300 router which connects hard 2 pcs and a wirless connection that host for 4 devices , the Router is connected to my Dlink DSL-502T Gen 2 ADSL 2+ Router.I'm constantly having to disconnect the power wait 5 minutes and reconnect the power to get everything back online. From what i can tell the main problem is the DIR-300 router, ive checked it has the latest firmware, reset the router from factory, tested it with less connections, called up my ISP and checked everything was good on there end but to no avail[CODE]
My router drops my internet connection at least once a day. When the router does this, my wireless network connection disappears from the network list. I have to disconnect router from plug and plug it back in to work again. If I hard-wire laptop to router or modem, I still do not get internet unless I unplug and re-plug router.
I have tested internet speed on Ethernet (~20 Mbps), but when I'm connected via wifi network, it drops down to ~11 ? The speed is same on all wireless devices even when I sitting next to the wifi router.
an issue with my modem (i think) I currently cannot get an Internet connection on my computers via wifi for some reason iv tried resetting it but it seems to pick up all the PC's and then 5 minutes later it just drops out which is annoying cause it says that the modem is still receiving Internet and were not getting it iv also tried a new router but the same issue and the speed of Internet is basically halfed what do I do iv tried heaps but it's just ******* me off now
In the past week I have been getting totally random disconnects from my modem. Sometimes it works great, other times it will essentially cease to function as it tries to sync to bells lines, it seems to be worse at night from what I've seen. I have called my ISP over 4 times, had 3 separate techs come to my house and replace everything from the router to the Internet port down the road.The only thing that has not been replaced is the actual phone jack in my wall but every tech has looked at it and said its functioning fine. I am at a loss, and on the verge of canceling my service with my ISP at this point. Problem is I cannot get rogers for various reasons, so bell is my only option for high speed internet, so canceling with them sorts leaves me high and dry.
This issue has been going on for a few weeks now, i will be using the internet and it will suddenly drop out. My computer is connected to my router, this connection is fine it is just the INTERNET connection that drops out. When this happens all of the computers on the network are affected.
Internet connection fails when desktop boots?I have a wireless internet router/modem. Netgear.The internet works fine via wireless for laptops, phones etc.Until i boot my desktop up that is connected via cable to the router it then drops the internet connection.The network is still showing as active but local only.If i open a browser it tells me that it cannot resolve the DNS server.if i switch the desktop off and reconnect the laptop it works.So its not the laptop or the router i have used a few different cables all the same.I'm using XP on desktop fairly fresh install with AVG antivirus and not much else on it but i have had the internet working since install so its some setting somewhere thats changed or needs setting up again.
I'm at my wits end. We had broadband from Plusnet (uk) put in at xmas. I've had a problem with my laptop connecting wirelessly so I've run a cable from the router up to my room. All's well and I can connect to servers and play online all day to my hearts content. It all goes pairshaped though when someone connects to the internet wirelessly. As soon as the internet is accessed the network just goes. I've spoken to plusnet to see what they can see and as far as they're concerned there's no problem coming into the house. We're getting up to 12mbps which is pretty nice and as I mentioned there's no problem unless someone connects wirelessly. I've changed the channel on the router as there might be interference from a neighbours router. I thought this might have fixed the problem but it's not.
My problem seems to be with the two laptops with Centrino wireless adapters. My daughter has a Dell with Centrino and was complaining that her wireless keeps dropping out and the other 3 laptops in the house had no problems, I bought a new Samsung laptop the other day and my wireless keeps dropping out on it as well. I looked at all the settings and stuff in the posts I found and noticed that I have a Centrino with advanced N6325 and remembered that my daughters dell also has a Centrino wireless, this is the only similarities that I noticed and can find no reason why I am loosing internet.
My internet's falling out every half an hour, I'm having this problem for a long time and I'm getting really annoyed by it. It's always out for an average of 3 seconds. The reason this is annoying is because I'm a gamer and these dropouts cause me getting kicked for being unable to connect and such.
Just starting a couple of days ago my internet started dropping about every 10-20 minutes. The problem is only with this computer. I have a laptop right next to me and it works fine no problem and two other PCs that don't have any issues so I don't think it is the router. I have scanned my computer with different antivirus software and it's clean. The computer is always connected with a full 5 bars and says it has internet access but sometimes it drops and in order to get it up and running again I unplug the wireless adapter and plug it in again. At first I thought it might have been the adapter so I swapped it out for a new one and I'm still having the same problems. My wireless is unencrypted. This keeps happening over and over again and I am stumped on what to do.

My wired/wireless internet connection drops every 15-20 minutes for a few seconds at a time. I have a Cisco Linksys E2500 which is bridged to a actiontec mi424wr router (Verizon Fios router). My fiance's computer is wired while my laptop is wireless.When I originally set up the network I had 2 mi424wr bridged together but it dropped very frequently. Switching the router and upgrading the firmware has made in happen less but it is still frequent enough to warrant trouble.
My internet will drop permently if i connect my router ot my modem. I have purchased a wireless router and intended to use it with my Iphone and when firends come over with laptops they could use it as well. Because i live on 3 and a half acres i don't need to protect it well it doesn't bother me. For a couple of days it was working fine until i was playing a game and my internet just dropped and i investigated the issue and found when i unplug the router which is connect to my modems first slot (Ethernet cable) the internet will come back on but when i put the cord back in my net drops. ive tried changing the slots and trying different cables.
I recently bought an Asus Rt-n56u router to replace a netgear that bit the dust. I have three xbox 360's connected wirelessly to the network, that me and my roommates typically use simultaneously. When any one of us turns off our xbox, we completely lose the internet. Sometimes it comes back in a few minutes, and other times we have to reset the modem and the router to get it back. I emailed ASUS and got suggestion to try port forwarding, without real clear instructions on what to do.
