arrggghhhh.. lost my internet connection again.. will be low on points for a bit until I can get it fixed.. ![]() won't be able to work on it until I get home late tonight.. Dr. Mike.. Are you losing your network connectivity (DSL for example) or are you losing your wireless connection? Hmm, if all of your machines are going through the wireless router, it may seem like losing network. Routers do die. I've had Linksys routers work for a few hours, and although all the lights are blinking they aren't passing any information. I've gone through three of them... My latest DLink worked great for several years, and it was a little more graceful when it died - it just quit working. Unlike the linksys routers, power cycling it didn't bring it back for a little while. I've got a dlink gaming router right now, and it's been working flawlessly for over two years. When it dies, I have a brand new in-the-box router to replace it. Home routers aren't near as robust as commercial routers, and they do fail. Very Interesting. I have had a similar experience with a Linksys router at one of my pro bono sites but I have had two routers (one wired and one wireless) made by NetGear that have been working pretty much continuously for in excess of 5 years without so much as a dropped bit. Small sample (the two of us) but that would seem to indicate that Linksys is not as reliable. ![]() I just gave my daughter my old Linksys about 3 years old--she has cox and no problems--i have a 160-n i got a year ago for backup. The only time i have trouble is during thunder storms when i lose signal as i have Sat. |

Gerard, looks like you've kicked things up a notch since you got back (presumably) from holiday!?!

Dave how did your appointment go?--look out for the ant on your screen Let's just say that my Linksys is doing much better than I. Hope you don't mind if I borrow him for a bit. I had a NetGear that died a very quick death. My Dlink has been running for several years now. I think routers are a bit of a commodity item so one brand is not much different or better than another. Seems more like the luck of the draw. Mike, when you get to your machines after you lose connectivity, are they still up and crunching? Are any ethernet (wire) connected or is everything wireless? |

They are still up and crunching. One though (laptop) automatically downloaded a windows update and then re-booted, so it wasn't.. Only one computer is ethernet connected, and it is the one which is connected to the router.. (which I don't have working correctly at the moment.. grr..) The others are wireless.. Dr. Mike.. ![]() |
