I too have been having problems with my cable modem (ntl 200) and my Belkin 7230 router.

I've only had it about a month and, up until the beginning of this week, it was working flawlessly (1 wired computer, 1 wireless laptop) - loved it to bits.

For no apparent reason, the router suddenly dropped the connection - driving me nuts. I see from other postings on here that I am not the only one with this issued. Brief info as follows:

1. Once the router drops the connection, I get an ORANGE light on the router (on the No 1 wired computer light) - all other lights are off.

2. If I restart everything, it works for 5-10 minutes, then router cuts out again.

3. If I connect my wired computer directly to the cable modem, all is well - no problems at all.

4. If I use the Belkin interface to look at the router (192.168.2.1), I can do so until it sees fit to die on me again.

5. I have tried to reset settings, flash firmware etc using the interface.

6. I tried Belkin support and did the "paper clip to reset" thing - yeah, like that was going to work

What is annoying me is that it worked SO WELL - why has it suddenly decided to give me problems? Driving me mad...

The only thing I can think of is that NTL are slowly upgrading to 10Mb in my area (Coventry)? Although perhaps not...ok, so I am clutching at straws.

So, over to you - any thoughts welcome!

Thanks
