Stupid Router!!!
-
Well, I once drove an hour and half to a client who was complaining about intermittent network connection simply to hear that singular "click" that occurs when you properly plug in an ethernet cable. Marc
Try cleaning the dust out of it :)

Does anybody know what could cause a router to keep losing it's internet connection? I'm having to restart the stupid thing about 3 times a day, but I'm not convinced it's the actual router, or WAN connection... :| Any idea's?
oooo, the Jedi's will feel this one....
Make and Model might help. I have had problems like this myself - usually it's a bug in the firmware that causes it to crash after a long period of time, or when a certain sequence of packets goes through it. I've had routers that were fixed with a simple firmware update, so check to see if there is one available. And I've also had routers that had no fix, so I had to toss them in the trash and buy a different model. I've pretty much restricted myself to Cisco these days - they seem to have a more thorough Q/A department.
