Always having to power cycle router...?

[CJL 10+ year member]

My Belkin ''Wireless G plus'' router is always losing connection. I have to power cycle the router numerous times a day to restore the interwebz..

I know how to use a pc but not to fond with diagnostics.

Is my router going bad of a problem with software? Every once in a while I get a conflict with another ip addy message also.

Check and if your router has the latest firmware.

I had a Belkin router(it was silver I think) and it totally ******. I also had to reboot the router a number of times every week.

Linksys

not sure if you can do it with wireless but usually setting up a static ip stops a lot of those problems

Sounds like it's time for a new one. I've ran belkin, linksys, cisco, netgear and d-link. Right now i have the NETGEAR WNR3500L and it's my favorite so far. It's a gigabit N router which is 1000mbps through the wired ports. I work for comcast I've seen a lot of routers. I get 30-40mgs download on a speedtest directly to the modem and also the same speeds through the router.

Linksys

I use Linksys or the higher end Belkins

Funny enough i am using a high end belkin right now...but all my linksys routers are modded with DD-WRT,although they are collecting dust.

I posted almost the same exact thread a few weeks ago and didn't get a single response lol. I tinkered around a bit with it, and it's been good for a while, idk exactly what fixed it. I know sometimes comcast just ***** ballz though

Always a "DNS server is not responding message"
