I dont think i have PPPoA Settings

Thats where mine idle time option sits, I have a Belkin router mind.
although today its not gone off once...
Is the actual wireless connection turning off or is it loosing internet connection? if its the latter and you are on cable it may be the cable modem signal, only ntl can have a look at that.
BTW: Is that actually Vista or jsut a skin? any good?
Its the wireless signal on all conencted items, all 3 of us were on and we all lost our connection Other 2 computers are running XP im the only one with vista
Its a real thing, from a MSDN Friend, because MSDN people are special they get RC2, im running RC2 and its perfect ive not had ONE problem, im running Dual boot which enables me to have XP aswell, and a really good idea is to install all your drivers on XP and store them in a Folder and then in vista Make sure you tell vista to look at them folders, because it works!
I'm having exactly the same thing so I would be really interested in an answer for it! I use ntl cable modem and belkin router & wireless receiver.
I rang ntl and was told to unplug and plug it back in and like you say, that does work but i cant be doing that all day. Rang them back and they said its not them, its the router. rang Belkin 5 times so far and been told a different thing each time and its still not fixed. it will disconnect and connect again any amount of time from around once every 2 hours to every 15mins on a bad day.
dont mean to hijack your thread, just thinking if someone can suggest a solution for both of us
Nope its tottaly random
btw, your Netgear manual tells you something about Idle Time, I looked.
And no one uses the Wired version only the Office computer and i dont think it has kicked me off
Whats that?
The router is doing my head in, its cut out and the light never went off this time
And!!!! no one was on the internet!!!
im thinking wether to get a new router and a different make!!!
*note* this router was Referb
You can find the manual by Goggling it (like I did) or check any disks you got that you got with your router. Read the manual to see if you can identify the problem. Failing that phone up Netgear.
Check my post above, Its Referd so i think thats why...
Should i consider getting a new one?
Money is not a problem because family would pay for it
If it only comes on when a computer connects to it, then it may be a problem with your computers.
Ive had no end of trouble with Netgears. I used to have a Netgear router (not wireless) that kept loosing connecting at random times, in the end i bought a Belkin one, and had no problems since! How long since you bought your router?
But let me keep pointing out Its REFERBEB
And how can 3 Computers be wrong?
True!
have you had a look on netgears site, to see if this is a common problem or possible a firmware upgrade to solve it?
Looked for it, there aint one
> Needs to be wireless ( of course )
> Wireless G
> Must NOT be DSL
> Has to have a plug in for my Internet box
Why don't you want an xDSL router, you with Telewest or NTL?
And i spoke with an IT Person @ School and he reckons its faulty.
So im going to be looking for a new one
And you haven't answered my question about Telewest or NTL so I am going to assume you are on cable and not ADSL??
Im going to assume that too, as an ntl modem cannot be changed by the user.
If you do have ADSL CoolME, then you may want to get a router with an ADSL modem built in, cuts down the number of boxes for the internet and hopefully less bits to go wrong.
