Ok, so here is a weird one. I used to have a netgear modem, worked great for years. A month ago, the connection starts dropping on all devices (i have one wired desktop, and multiple wireless such as blue rays and ipads etc). My high speed cable company determines its the router. I do too, when the desktop is only plugged into the modem things work fine. After multiple reviews, I purchase the E1550. It works fine... for a month...
Now I am having the same problem. I went as far as exchaning my E1550 for a new one from Best Buy, but same problem. The connection will drop on all lines, hard desktop and wireless devices. Sometimes it happens once every hour, sometimes every 10 secs. I have changed settings on my router until I am blue int he face. Id ropped the channel width to 20mhz and tried multiple channelts. I lowered the beacon intervel and fragment threshold RTS etc.
Also, as a side note, my hardwire desktop will not connect to the router through the cisco connect icon, even when internet is working. It says 'cannot access router' even when i have connection. I am making all changes through the browser typing in the ip in the address bar. Any other ideas?
