I've had a problem with accessing this site for quite a while now - often, when I click on a link, my router will stop responding and require a reboot.
I remember first noticing this just before nthw became cf - I would download a page, but all the avatar images would be missing - it turns out the router crashed during the page download. This happened several times, sometimes with none of the page downloaded at all.
Of course, I first put this down to either a dodgy router or some sort of signal level problem. However, this has been going on for a few months now, and I've come to realise that the router has NEVER crashed, except when accessing cf! Even other vBulletin sites like DigitalSpy don't seem to cause a problem.
I've tested this by leaving WinMX running for over 24 hours - sure enough, it was still downloading and uploading happily. Then, within 4 or 5 links followed on cf, the router had crashed. I know it's my router crashing and not my BB because I'm also then unable to access the router's config page from any machine (192.168.0.1 on my network).
My setup is:
- 600k BB by SACM (not sure of model, but it says ntl:home on the front).
- Netgear 54Mbps Wireless Router WGR614 (latest firmware v2.15RC4)
- 1 PC connected wirelessly using "Belkin Wireless 54Mbps Desktop Adapter"
- 1 PC connected using ethernet (no spyware or viruses on either PC)
I'm aware how ludicrous one website crashing a router sounds - that's why I've left it so long before asking - but that's what seems to be happening! Can anyone shed some light on another possible reason or fix?
Thanks
