Router Problems

[~ vortex ~]

Ive had my Belkin Wireless router for just over a year now and had no problems upto now. Just recently its been cutting out, sometimes upto 6 times maybe more a day, which can be very frustrating when your in the middle of doing something. The only way I can back online is to pull the power cable out of the router and reconnect. Is there something wrong with my router settings or my cable modem settings? or could it be my network provider which is Virgin Media at fault?.. My router model is Belkin Wireless G Router 2.4Ghz-802.11g
Any help will be gratefully appreciated.. Thanx

Try changing to a different channel for a while.

Channel 11 is commonly used, but try Channel 7.

My Belkin router will cut out at the merest hint of a drop in the mains supply, when the lights flicker. Just switching it off, then back on, doesn't work. I have to leave it off for about 10 to 15 minutes before it will resume normal operation. A pain.

christy 053, me thinks your problem is a microfilter. you either haven't got one on a phone line somewhere or you have a faulty one somewhere on your system
