linksys router acting up

Timmy1984 · 09-06-2005, 10:46 PM

K i got a linksys BEFW11s4 4 port. I got my xp i use as main, ps2, and veo camera connected to it and wireless for laptop. It will run all fine when i set it all up. But after like a month or so it will resest it self i think cause i have to set up my dsl account in the ppoe. This time i couldn't even log on to my router by putting in 192.168.1 so i just hooked the dsl modem up only. I wanna know why its doing this and if i can stop it. I have it on max secruirty so prob no ones doin this. I have been usin this router for about half a year now. Thanx for any help.

It's quite possible you simply have a defective router or power supply. If you can't access it at all, even after a factory reset, it's dead. FWIW, the fact that you use PPPoE has nothing to do with this issue, lots of folks use it.
