Hello there!
I am currently using the stated Netgear Router in my home, and have been using it for the past year and a bit. However, earlier this year i built myself a new computer and moved my router from the master socket to the other room.
When i connected it all up, it was running fine for a few days...but then it suddenly started to "Lock Up". All the lights on the front of the device would stay on and the "Number 1" light where the CAT5 was connected would continue to blink. However, the computer would not be able to access the internet and wireless would not show up on any device I own.
That problem was remedied when i moved my router onto the table beside me. However, a few months later, the same problem occured. I put up with it for a month and a bit, but then i moved it yet again to the furtherest point I could from the computer (without going too extreme, of course). it now sits behind the sofa next to me and has been working fine for a few good months.
Now the same problem has occured again!
I have gone from forum to forum and contacted various individials in hopes that my error will be resolved, but i have no luck!
Let me further describe the error:
The internet will run fine, but then it will just...stop responding. When i refresh or try to connect to another site, i get the 404 treatment.
The router looks fine when you look at the lights. The power, wireless, internet and LAN lights are all on. Although sometimes, the Internet light will just drop put and will not go back on. The latter is rare but does happen and I experiance the same effects.
I am running the latest firmware, done several virus, spyware and adware scans, set the firewall and so on. No such luck in resolving the problem.
Setup:
The router is plugged into the wall-socket. Next to it is a standing lamp that is plugged into an extension board that is sitting in the corner. I have made sure the wires are not touching thus causing any static related problems.
The router is plugged into a microfilter and the boradband cable into it.
My ISP is Demon Internet.
I....really dont know whats wrong. I have tired, tried and tried again but no such luck in getting it resolved.
This has gone on for too long! PLEASE HELP!
