So my friend lives with me and we share my room which both of our PCs are in. He and I are the only ones who use the internet aside from my mom who occasionally uses the wireless on her Laptop. The modem is in a different room, and from it there's a 50 ft. LAN cable that goes under the crawl space up into my room which then is connected into my routers uplink. Then from the router (it has 5 ports) we have two 20 ft. LANs going to my PC and his. Just trying to provide all the information I can.
So the problem is, sometimes either him or myself, or both of us will lose connection at random. If we go into the network settings on our computers and disable the local area connection then re-enable it the connection instantly comes back. I thought maybe we were pulling too much bandwidth or something which was bogging it down but that isn't it. I have no clue why we lose connection at random. It happens almost every day and is getting old.
Any suggestions?
What Wifi router do you have ?
[QUOTE=Ridz0r;26783070]What Wifi router do you have ?[/QUOTE]
I don't think it's Wifi, unless all wireless is considered Wifi. Like I said though I don't know. The router isn't wireless though, the modem is. The modem is a: Motorola SBG900 Wireless SURFboard Gateway.
Whats the router then?
Manufactured by Cisco, the brand is Linksys: EtherFast 10/100 5 port router.
Only thing I can think of is that the router has simply given up. Or maybe you can try switching cables.
Then again, if its happening to both computers, its pretty obvious the router is reaching its final days.
