Hello there

This is my first post here, so hi.

I have question i am hoping someone can solve, as its really starting to make my teeth itch.

I have a 4 port wireless belkin router connected up to my virgin media cable modem. I think the version of modem is F5D7230-4 or something similar (with 2 rf antenna) and its a v2000 version. Its running the latest firmware according to the belkin website.

My problem is that when using the internet, sometimes a page refuses to load, and then all internet activity is lost. The only way to get it back is to restart the router.

What I dont understand is that while the internet is not working, I am still able to ping websites, but http access is blocked.

As you can imagine this is very annoying, and at the moment it seems to be getting worse.

I have read a few similar posts on here, but i cannot find an answer.

Does anyone know why my router keeps doing this? and more importantly is there a fix for it??

any help is appriciated, as i don't want to fork out on a new router.

Thanks in advance
