Title: Internet Stops, but doesnt disconnect
Post by: Feety on October 31, 2008, 06:39:50 PM

This has been happening for the past two weeks.
We recently got our router about a month ago along with a new modem(DCM-202 I believe). Up until two weeks ago it was fine, but then it started acting crazy. If I was downloading or uploading something, my internet would halt. Web pages would not open, download/upload would stop, but my internet wouldn't disconnect. On very few occasions, the internet would disconnect, however the majority of the time it didn't.

Some info:

ISP: Comcast
Router version: 1.21 without secure spot
I have tried this with wireless and wired
It effects all the computers on the network

If anyone would be able to help me solve this, it would be great. I love the routers speed, but this is not making me too happy.

Does this happen with other firmware versions like 1.11?

I immediately upgraded it to version 1.21 when I bought it. I have not downgraded it at all or tested it with the firmware it came with. As I said, it was fine until about 2 weeks ago, And to my memory I have not changed anything.

Hi Feety,

I also have Comcast and I have not notice anything of what you described, except when McAfee blocks a Virus from coming in or when I am actually disconnected from the Internet. When Comcast goes down.

This happened to me 1 time that I can remember recently. I don't have 1.21, but I was in the middle o***ame of company of heroes and I was on teamspeak with my partner. Everything stopped in the game and my partner couldn't hear me anymore, but I could hear him. After about 30 seconds everything started working again though. I'm glad it doesn't happen frequently, or I would be pissed. I don't even know if it's the router though, to be honest.

Doesnt seem to be the router after further testing, Possibly the modem.

I reset the configuration to factory settings and then used QoS for port 80.

Comcast was thinking it was the modem, but I cannot be sure.
