I have a cable broadband connection with Telewest which is Blueyonder. I shared this between more than 1 PC in the house using the Belking F5D7230-4 router. It has been working fine for the last 6 months we've had it running but all of a sudden in the last month it has decided to cut out and lose the BB signal, when this happens the lights on the router for each PC go from green to orange.

I thought the problem was the main PC downstairs which I installed the router from initially. When I plug this PC into the router on its own, the relevant light will flicker but I get no internet working, but the cable signal is ok, because when I plug it directly from the modem it is fine.

If I plug one of the other laptops using the broadband into the router they seem to work fine, but as soon as I add another pc or laptop into the router it will cut out again. If I unplug the power and plug it back in again, it will work for a minute then cut out. So it seems to work ok with just 1 computer plugged into it, except the main one which doesnt seem to work at all, I dont know why.

I tried to upgrade the firmware and it says that my current firmware is 6.00.14 and the one it has for download is 4.05.03 and it wont install it.

I really dont know why this keeps happening and it really is annoying, can anyone suggest anytyhing to try?

Does anyone know if Telewest has changed anything which means we have to change some settings on the router manually?
