Computer disconnects from wireless router




By Nicko0310 on Nov 19, 2007

My computer, which is connected by cable to the router, keeps getting disconnected (and reconnects automatically) after awhile. This is a problem for me cus im playing an online game and when this happens i have to relog to the game. Is this a problem with my router or software?

Same Problem

Feb 24, 2008

-   I have the same problem, I share the internet with my 2 housemates, they use the wireless mode for their laptops but Im connected using a cable, my computer disconnects very briefly (couple of seconds) and that causes me to disconnect from the game (and Ventrilo) and happens frequently at times but less at other times . . very frustrating
My router is the Belkin G Plus MIMO Wireless Router
model # F5D9230-4
my ISP is Virgin Media . . . got the internet connected to the modem and the modem connected to the router.
I thought at first that the problem has to do with the router Setup . . what I do is turn ON the UPnP setting . . set the router to wireless with Protected Mode Off . . setup the wireless network security to WPA-PSK . . turn OFF the Firewall . . but it still happens . . however i noticed that it happens less when Wireless mode is OFF . . but still happens-   Pooki3

This could be a problem with the router. It sounds like there is a timeout that is not set properly. What is the make/model/serial # of the router? Who is your broadband provider? This information will help diagnose the problem further.
