When your internet goes out again, could you tell me which lights are on, on the router and modem.
The power light show not be flashing on the router... What lights are lit up on the modem? Try plugging in directly to the modem and see if it still does it.Annie said:The cables are all right - secured - and the router cord is in the Internet back on the router.
The lights it this: Power button is flashing and all 1-4 Ethernet and internet, and in the corner of my pc that a network cable has been unplugged.
Thanks

Annie said:I've tried different channels - I am on right now through my DSL modem - w/out the linksys it works fine and I'm able to get on the Internet as I've always done. It's when I go through the Linksys that it has the problem. What do you mean only wireless or both? My DSL modem is not wireless if that is what you are referring. This is so frustrating! To have a laptop and not be able to access the Internet makes it pretty useless. Maybe someone can figure this out becuase I sure can't! Well going to try again and see what happens then will check back here. Thanks for all the suggestions - much appreciated.

Edit:
Rereading the thread I think I might have had a bit confused about your set-up. What I see now is that, I think, you have a DSL modem, into a router, and have a PC plugged into the router and are using the laptop wirelessly...is this correct? If that is the case and you are getting the "cable unplugged" message on your PC and that it coincides with losing signal/internet access on the laptop, it sounds definately like your router is having problems. It looks like it's reseting every few minutes. I'd take it back and try a new one.

hotpursuit said:by any chance would you happen to have WRT 54G? I've had one, and had similar things happened (PC/Mac would lose connection every 5 or 10 mins). We even tried to update the firmware, and that did help a little. We got a new off-brand wireless router since then; but now the problem is that (sometimes) it takes forever to load a page on Mac's; while the router works perfectly on PC's.
Yeah, when I bought the router from NewEgg; I've read lots of good reviews...and for the price, I was sold.dtravis7 said:That is interesting because I have 2 Linksys WRT54G's here, one as the router and the other as an Access Point and NEVER had a problem with my wireless connection to both Macs and PC's. It's up 24 hours a day and never one problem. Most reliable router/Wireless I have ever owned.
