Werid Disconnecting Problems

rscosworth · 20-11-2007, 07:32

Guys,

Im on 4mb BB with virgin using a Belkin 7235 gigabit wireless router and ntl200 modem.

I leave my laptop on all night downloading torrents wirelessly, i get great speeds but when i wake up in the morning the connected light is flashing on the router (this means its lost connection).

I reset the router but the connection issue is not resolved.

I have to reboot both modem and router to get my connection back.

Is this a faulty router, faulty modem, ntl stopping my torrents, downloading too much?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Are the SYNC and RDY lights solid on your modem?

If you can I would connect the modem directly to the machine and see what happens overnight.

Last week I got my modem replaced (ntl 120) because it kept dropping connection whenever I started downloading; the SYNC and RDY lights starting flashing and then they would go normal again until I started downloading again, general browsing was fine.

So I borrowed a modem from my cousin round the corner and tried his and it was stable and never dropped.
