Cable quick D/Cs

arunforce · 10-29-2005, 12:44 PM

Everyone disconnects on my network every hour or two for about a second; twice. It reconnects, but it proves difficult to manage when I am downloading, transfering network files, or playing an online game.

I have a Linksys WCG200 Cable Gateway, any ideas?
I read that some other guy had the same thing, his internet was "hiccuping". But I don't know what to do.

First thing to do is isolate it to the local network or the ISP. Connect a single computer directly to the broadband modem and see if you have the same issue. If that connection is stable over a much longer period, it's probably the local LAN.

I'd start by checking the version of firmware you have and see if there's an update. Also, could the power to the router be taking a hit for some reason?
