i recently bought a router and it works great, but it seems as though it's dropping my internet. i'll cum home from work and utorrent isn't dl'ing and i can't connect to the next. a reboot won't fix this either. i have to reboot the router. not reset it mind u, just reboot it. wtf? shitty router? routers do this? i don't have this problem when the router isn't connected. my router is this.
It probably just crashed. Happens alot with these cheap routers when you are making alot of connections for some odd reason. see if there is any firmware updates for it.
here
that's the first thing i did @ set-up. meh. pretty gay. i'll prob take the junk back. i need my computer runnning. u said cheap router... what's a non-cheap router? i'm not just asking for u to give me a rec on a $500 router either. i need a router that can take what i throw at it. i guess $50 just didn't cut it. recs? thx for input.Quote:

i've did that. bad thing is i have the v6 model and it's crippled. therefore won't be able to use those sweet 3rd party firmwares. i only have 2mb of cache instead of the old 4mb. :(Quote:

I have same problem and my router isn't Linksys, mine is 3Com. I know many ppl have same problem with other brands also. For me upgrading firmware didn't help me.Quote:
