Router Issues

Post by **fallen_angel** » 16 Feb 2010, 19:27

Im running a 4Mbps ADSL line through a Billion 400G router. the connection to my laptop is via LAN because there is something wrong with my wireless on the laptop. my problem is that every few hours my internet connection dies on me. all my indications on the router are normal but my laptop shows that there is a communication error between the laptop and the router. i have already changed the cable and the problem remains... can this be a network problem on the laptop or a setup problem on my router software?

It could be hardware. I have had issues with my billion bipack 7300.
Maybe see if a firmware update helps

I had a similar issue with another Billion router. Switched to Dlink and it went away. I don't have much confidence in Billion routers.

+1
I bought mine and all the ports have got something wrong with them. My faith is with Linksys-VPN enabled by default and the dual antenna models rock! (I have 3)

Finally got my router issues sorted out... Believe it or not but the error was not on telkom's side or with the router. Problem was with Vista Home Basic... Laptop crashed and reloaded it with Vista Ultimate and *POOF* no more connection problems, even my wireless is working again

Some of the Billion routers where incompatible with SP1/2 of Vista Basic, and Windows XP SP3.. whack
Good to hear it is sorted bud

Sorry to dig this out again... Bought a new laptop a few months ago... Still using the same Billion 400G router. The operating system is windows 7 and the wireless connection is working 100%. However... the intermittent connection is back AGAIN. I want to change routers but don't know what to get... was looking at D-Link DSL-2760U and someting from Linksys but don't know which one is the best. Any advice?

P.S. please keep the price range below 1.5K

Something from Linksys. ANYTHING from Linksys over D-Link, imho.

What's your view on this one? Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router

Post by **Stuart** » 04 Jan 2011, 14:49

Very popular router. You can't go wrong there, I'd think.

Edit: Not interested in wireless-N at this stage?

Post by **fallen_angel** » 04 Jan 2011, 15:00

I don't know any wireless-N models...?

WAG120N or WAG320N for gigabit.

I own the WAG120N and it's fine but I still get further reach with my dual antennae WRT54G setup.

I finally got telkom to fix my line... hopefully it was done properly this time. Ordered the WAG320N and waiting for it now...

Ok I got my Linksys router today but now the question is... How do I get the router to accept multiple connections from a DL manager?
