Intermittent Link Loss Issue

MiNdWaRp · 03-09-2009, 05:58 PM

Hello all,

I've been trying to deal with an issue with my router for quite a while now. It has a tendency to lose connection to the internet once or twice per hour, requiring a power cycle. It only seems to happen when any device other than the wireless laptop are connected to it. I've done direct link tests with all other devices and never does the link go down at the modem, which means it has to be the router. I've tried Firmware update, changing from DHCP to Static IP (which is what my connection is supposed to be) and nothing seems to help.

The router is a D-Link WBR-1310 with Firmware Version 1.04.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you do a factory reset on the router and reconfigure it? That sometimes helps, especially after a firmware update.
