Keep in mind I can barely type and navigate on this thing. My wife just hooked up a wifi system so that we can have service to two other computers in the house. Since she has hooked it up it keeps disconnecting from the internet. I can take the power supply to three boxes and disconnect them for a little while then reconnect and wallah I have connection again. What's up with this problem? Is their some kind of device you can buy to stop this? It just happened a few minutes ago but this time I tried disconnecting them and waiting several minutes and could not get a connection each time so finally I pulled out the phone line jack in back of the modem and plugged it back in and wallah instant connection. Any ideas?

Do you have a noise reduction jack hooked to the phone line? If not, you need one. Are the other computers wireless via usb? And yours is the main router computer? I hate, hate , hate having to deal with wireless in a home. I also meant to ask you. Your son plays online with the xbox360 correct? Is it wireless?

We are hooked up through cable why would we need this device? Are main computer is hooked up to cable and my wife bought the wifi for two others so that they could become "mobile" since they are laptops. Xbox is also plugged into the network hub. So we have both and the Xbox does have wireless controllers but I don't think that does anything. The hookup signal to the main computer is 100 mpbs. The wifes laptop is coming in through wifi around 48.

sorry, when you stated you unplugged the phone line, I was guessing dial up. Remember, it is not phone line in a router unless you are using dial up, it is Data line on cable What i wanted to know, is if the xbox its self is wireless, not the controllers. I have the same problem with the wireless connection of the xbox interferring with my main computer plugged directly into the router. Some reason the wireless xbox wants to steal my signal. the bastich. 48 isnt' bad actually. Sounds like you just need to move the router, if possible , from behind a few walls or get a relay. And, no, since it is not dial up, you won't need a noise reduction jack. BUT, you can always check the "twist" on end of the coax (cable) and see if it is loose, remember, righty tighty. I doubt it is a compression fitting (more expensive for the cable company to use) Did i tell you I hate wireless in residential? well, the problems that is

I will tell you this by unplugging then waiting for a while and plugging back in it will then connect. It wasn't doing this until my wife directed the wiring through the wifi. My wife thinks it's in the hub and that since she wired the wifi into it she may have to program it because it might not be accepting it or repairing itself or she said it could be a bad hub itself. Anyway she says she'll deal with it later.

what kind of hub are you using. Now, hubs and switches i know. That is whole different scenario than just a router. It may also be a matter of , yet again, Firmware updates.
It is a bitch to try to remember to do that, but the discs that come with the programs usually don't have the latest firmware. It changes so quickly they would have to redo the discs at least once a week to send them out with the components. Too much money in that, so it is up to the enduser to update.

Now you are over my head. The hub is a little black box sitting on top of my tower. I have no clue what kind. It does say Network Everywhere 5 port. I think that is what my wife indicates is that she will have to go in and reprogram it. Must be the wifi and the network are not matching up or something like that. I'll let her deal with it this weekend and let you know what she finds. She's pretty good at this stuff. Thanks for helping!
