Thanks xocemp.

When radio drops out still have internet connection and can surf though drop out is onlt for a couple of seconds. Sometimes might lose internet connection altogether ( not as frequently as before ); page cannot be displayed but sync and ready lights are on permanently.

Been happening for quite a while now but just been getting to me lately and decided to try and do something about it.

Router is used as wired connection to both my wife's and my pc. However, my son came round last week ,after the vm engineer had installed the new modem, with his laptop and connected wirelessly to us. When radio dropped out on my pc it did'nt on his laptop.

This led me to think it's my pc but when mine drops out the wife's also drops out which confuses me if my sons laptop was ok. To me this might indicate the router but if so how could that be?

Replaced cable from modem to router and from router to my pc just in case.

Thanks John

PS. thank you for clarifying sync and ready lights but why have send and receive lights ( sorry if that's a silly question )

Listening to BBC Radio 2 at the moment ( sad I know for a sunday afternoon) but audio is jumping, similar to needle jumping on old fashioned vynil records.

Just lost it. Reckon the jumping was the signal going. Kept repeatedly rebuffering with no connection. Came out of the real player link and re-entered and now ok, for the time being. The same thing will hapenn regardless of whther or not access the station via real player
