- Keep having to reset Linksys router
- Posted by TC on July 15th, 2004
Linksys Router: BEFSR41
On average, I lose my connection once per day. It's not the internet
or my cable modem. I still have a connection, just my router "drops"
it.
I press the reset button on the router and then the connection is
returned. I have upgraded to the latest firmware but still have the
same problem. Does this sound like the router is dying?

@twister.tampabay.rr.com:
I have the 1 port version of your router... and I noticed the newer
firmware is quite unstable with the router.
I'm in the process of buying a new router... probably one from Zyxel which
I heard are much more reliable.

I had the very same problem, only more frequently. I called Linksys tech
support, and they had me go into the router setup and change two settings,
and that solved the problem completely. I just can't remember what they
were though. I think they were on the basic settings page. The tech said
the settings were published on their web site.

NO
if the router was dead it wouldnt work. its a work or dont work box.
but theres a ton of settings inside the router, perhaps those need changing.
i suggest calling up RR and tell them your modem stays connected but your
router gets disconnected, and give them your router model #. they should be
able to help.
i use a dlink 704p router, which works fine on my dsl.
also newer firmware unfort does not always mean better..
