Belkin 54g wireless drops out on downloading (by 5 users)
posted by majormorgan on Apr 10, 2008
I'm on Virgin Media and I have a Belkin Gateway 54g wireless DSL router.
I can access the internet fine, but I find that files I download like quicktime movies, zip files seem to drop out when they are downloading. They stall and I have to restart them to get them down.
I'm using Firefox on windows XP professional.
I also noticed that when I use MSN messenger that the messages that people type, I only receive about half of, again due to the drop out from the router. I know it isn't the virgin media connection as I can plug straight into the virgin media modem via ehternet connection and get the full speed uninterrupted connections.
Anyone am I missing a setting somewhere?
Thanks

Have the same issue - stops downloading after 1-2mb. Connected direct to DSL modem and works fine. Will try and update the firmware - change to static IP will be difficult as ISP uses DHCP.

Me Too but I am with Bigpond and I am using the Belkin G Plus Mimo router.
The firmware i updted to isn't currently avaliable as a formal release. Its still a pre-release.
Hopefully mine will work now after the update.

i have the exact same problem. it also effects on-line radio players and buffering of video's too. its not the actual inernet connection because when it is wired straight to modem, it works perfectly. something to do with the router for sure

I had the same problem. I then set my IP to static and the problem resolved itself. However a couple of weeks later it started again. My IP remains static and I still have the problem. But at least thet's a temporary solution.

Resolved the problem by uploading new pre-release firmware version from the belkin support site - F5D7230 V7 -
