Internet cutting in and out [from Firefox]

carson005 · 03-15-2009, 12:14 AM

Router says internet is fine, network connection says everything is connected. Modem has one solid green(top),one blinking green(2nd), and one solid orange(bottom).

I can go on for a little then it cuts out, very annoying.

Solid Orange usually means something is out. That is what is shows on mine.

Hi,

Have you tried a power cycle? This is were you unplug the modem and router, and shutdown the computer. Once everything is shut down just let it sit for about 2 minutes. Then plug your modem in first, let it power up and see which lights are on. Once it is powered up, plug in your router. Allow your router to power up and see what lights are on, on it. Last turn your computer on. Let it boot up all the way without starting any programs.

Now that your computer is turned on please try and browser a webpage. If you are able to view a couple of pages then you are good to go. If you aren't able to view pages, then please tell us the make and model of your modem and router, so that we can get some information to compare it to.

Cheers!
