U said - \n"Plugging the cable modem straight into a computer may work at times, but it may not."\n\nAll the rtr does is pass on the internet conection to a computer(s).If ur connection from comp itself is not working well,BEFW11S4(which is ok)is not to blame.Cable modems need to be power cycled a lot of times.\nSo i wud suggest that the moment u dont get a connection ,immediatel connect the mdm to comp and call comcast,who wud be bound to do sumthing abt then (as the rtr is not involved now)\n\nOR\nif u feel that the rtr's not working properly,,just call Linksys and get them update the firmware(they'l guide u thru it).Also u can insist on getting it replaced,on the grounds of it not working,but u gotto be adamant and make the call longer than 40 minutes.\nP.S. : yeah befw11s4 is an old rtr,,get a wrt54gsx,if possible

It would help if you provided more information eg state how you connect to the internet...wired modem or router or modem router.\nPeople are not going to give the best solutions to something so vague.\nIf you use a modem router try this for starters...unplug it from the mains, wait 10 seconds & then plug it back into the mains. Wait another 10 seconds & try accessing the internet again

What kind of connection do you have.  It sounds like you might be having NAT timeout issues which means that your router is having problems.\n\nCan you state \n\na) what type of connection (cable, adsl, dial up etc)\nb) what operating system do you use (windows or mac)\nc) if you know what your ISP is, it would help.  That's the company you pay for internet access.\n\nSorry, I need more info before I can give you a possible solution.

talk to your ISP - they should be able to help you resolve it - either the host ISP or your home PC ISP if they're different.

Im assuming you are trying to bring up your router setup. Check your cables if this is the case. A bit more info would help.

reconfigure ur internet settings, if they did send u a cd its best to use that to setup everything up smoothly, im assuming ur original isp was a dial up one and thats why it tries to connect through dialing. with dsl ur on as long as ur dsl light is on. also ur router or homeportal i should say is a good one. u got wifi for ur wireless electronics! i got the same one :)

G'day,\n\nI would say that there may be interference between the router and the 'problem PC'.  Try to move the PC closer to the router (or vice-versa) and see if you still have the same problem\n\nIf problem persists, you may have corrupted driver or faulty network card.  Try re-install the driver.\n\nGood Luck!

What kind of Router are you using. Try to see if by upgrading the Firmware from the Manufacturer's website will fix the problem. Have you tried a different port on your router, it could be a defected port since your wireless portions is working fine. You can also try setting up a static ip address on your computer and see if you keep getting disconnected. Have you checked the Lease option on your Router to see how long they can have the Ip address that it sends out. Try setting up your computer first with a static ip address and see if that works for you if not update your Router with the latest firmware. If neither of those options work might be that your Router might be going bad, check if it is still under warranty and have it replaced but do the steps and see if that works for you.

Ok, a few steps:\n1. Try connecting the modem to the computer. If u are unnable to connect to the internet the the problem could be youre modem(mo signal or hardware malfunction) or the cable you are using\n2. If step 1 succeds (and youre connection is ok) try connecting your modem to the router, router to the computer, access the router from youre computer (it mostlikely has a web interface accesable by a private space address - check the routers instruction manual to see it's default address and what address you should use for youre computer) and try to configure the wan interface on youre router....If that fails hmmm..I never got to that but come back and we'll try more :D

Contact your service provider. I recently had a similar problem with my DSL and found out my phone line had issues. Since that was fixed, it's been very smooth.

check your netowork connections and make sure they are set, also check your browsers security and you may need to update it

quality of service is not guarenteed at a home user level for internet service. keep an eye on all the lights from your router to your modem, this will help you determine if you ahve any connection issues. if none are apparent you might be having spyware or adware issure, or even a virus.

Try disabling your firewall, it will narrow down your issue.
