[QUOTE="J-L, post: 1268889, member: 208449"] Whilst I will say that yes it is a possibility that someone could have gained entry to your router via wireless and played with the settings to make it harder for you to connect to the internet, the chances of someone actually doing that are very low and there is no real reason why someone would an intermittent problem. Anyway from what you have now told me we can eliminate the wireless part of the router or the wireless settings as the culprit of the problem and from what I have said before its more than one computer so it eliminates the chances of it being improper settings on a computer causing it and then your provider does not believe it is a problem on their end. So by process of elimination my dear Watson we can quite probably say that there is either a problem with the router itself or some settings on it as those are the only two weak points left in the chain. However I would say, if you are able to borrow an old router off of someone and test it (make sure that it works if it is an old one) make sure it is all properly configured according to your ISP to see if the problem continues. If it does then we may have to go back to the drawing board and see what else we can try. On the chance that you are able to do this and it does work, then we can either try to sort out your router or you could just buy a new one. @chas_m It is a possibility and it may be that if others are accessing their network it could be pushing over that limit, so I guess it begs the question to TC have you secured your wireless network?
