No. You might need to update the firmware.\n\nLook on your router and get the exact model number. Type it into google.\n\nSearch that model number as x\n\n"x firmware"\n"x drivers"\n\n\n\nTo play online games with a router you have to learn to forward ports\n\nsee portforward.com\n\n\nif this doesnt help ask again with the full model number of your router.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease post your other question again. I clicked enter to answer it and it said you had deleted it. That sucked.

Call netgear tech service.\nIt would be sure you are getting the right information.\nIt all depends what operating system you have,and the router you have may not be communicating.\nGood luck. Don't waste time.\nGo direct to the right source.

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.

Routers shouldn't die after a month... I've had mine for a few years [it's belkin] perhaps it isn't the router but something else?

I have used Netgear and Linksys in the past. I used Netgear on my wired network. It was okay, but I found everytime I have a thunder storm it would knock out my cable connection. So I would have to reset the network. After I discovered this was what was happening and new how to fix it, it was okay but was a hassel sometimes. \n\nI have sinced went to a wireless network. I originally had a Netgear because I'd used it in the past and thought it would work okay. However, no matter how much or tried, how long I worked on it, or who I had work on it, I could not get it to connect to the internet wirelessly. I could if I was connected to it with wires, but not wirelessly.\n\nI decided to return it and go with a Linksys. I have been very happy with it. I have had no problems with it (knock, knock, knock) It works with a really strong signal and it doesn't disconnect. I am able to get a strong signal throughout my house, even on the very opposite end. So it works great. \n\nI have a router with speed booster. I'm not sure how much of a difference in speed it is, I am satisfied. But I also have a Dell Axim PDA which I am unable to use on my wireless network. The only way I can use this is if I connect it to the dock through one of my wired PC's. Dell support says it is because the axim does not support speed booster. Just a word of caution. \n\nSo I vote Linksys!

One possibility is that your computer, not the AP's, is at fault....\nTry another wireless adaptor, or even another computer...\n\nStrange as it may seem, try moving out from directly below the AP.... they're actually configured to radiate horizontally, it may well be there's a "dead-spot" directly above and below.  (This could be fixed by reorienting the router antenna(e) )

You should access the router at 192.168.1.1 not 192.168.10.1  There is a black reset button on the router if you must reset it.  Usually you have to use like a paper clip to press the button down as it is recessed.\n\nAre the little lights on the front on?\n\nIf not its probably blown and you must replace.

disable logging in the router, all router configurations are different, but let's say it's a linksys, point your browser to http://192.168.1.1 click on administration, click on logs, and disable.  if you don't want to disable logging all together then disable the reporting option.\ni don't think that many linksys have reporting though, i think that's mainly d-link, and most of those are defaulted on http://192.168.2.1

#1 - Take the router out of line. - If your problem persists, then you can eliminate the router as being bad.\n\n#2 - Make sure all of your cables are good. Just one bad cable can cause the intermittent scenario you are describing.\n\n#3 - Power cycle the modem. Turn off your computer first. Then, unplug the power cable from your modem for at least 30 seconds. Plug it back in and restart your computer. \n\n#4 - Check your Network Interface Card on your computer. \nStart \nControl Panel\nSystem\nHardware Tab\nDevice Manager\nNetwork Adapters\n\nRight click on listed adapters\nproperties\nDevice Status is? If this says your device is working properly, then this COULD eliminate this problem. Not 100% guarantee though.\n\nBorrow a friend's modem (if you can) and hook it up. This will help you determine if your modem is the culprit.\n\nStill no help?\n\nCall your service provider technical support and if you are nice, they may walk you through your problem at no charge. They will also inform you on how you can obtain a new modem, if that is the case.\n\nHope this all helps!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G\n\nUpdate the firmware from 3rd party.  Much better than linksys firmware.  All your troubles will be gone.  Best firmware HyperWRT.  Did I mention it was free?  You need v4 routers or less.  Linksys did a bad thing and downgraded their routers with v5.

You are probably not plugging the cord's end (8 pin 8 conductor plug commonly known as RJ45) into the jack on the router all the way in until you clearly hear a click. That would be your plastic latch or tab springing up and locking the plug in the jack. That's when the plug is new. The jack's mechanical performance usually stays pretty good throughout its lifetime but the plug gets worn out really quick. The plastic latch might have been broken off or over-bent so badly that it stays on but does not spring anymore. If you were using the same cable with all those routers, a broken plastic latch on the cord would be the most logical explanation. Simply throw that cord away and get a new one they are really cheap these days and hundreds of suppliers carry them, online and off.

Well if it's an older router, they sometimes fail after a while.  Also, you'll need to make sure that you're within your routers comfortable range.  It could be an ISP problem, or there could be electronic interference.  Do you have any t.v's, stereo systems, any sort of electronic devices between you and the router, this can cause issues. \n\nIf you do experience issues right now, you can either right click on your wireless network icon on your system icons and left click on "Repair", or else you can go to Start, Run, type in CMD, press enter, when it opens the command prompt, type ipconfig /release, then press enter\nwait till that's done, then type ipconfig /renew, press enter.  It will reset your connection, and hopefully fix your issue.

i think its normal since my modem does this after i plug it back in.\n\nand i have no other problems with it.
