[+33] Router Error

[Richie]

Hey,
I got a new router today Cisco EPC 392 I am wired directly with a CAT5 but for some reason my router decides to kick me off the web for a few seconds every couple of hours. I mean the connect seems to be fine between those hours but every two or three hours it 'refreshes' or something along those lines, kicking me off skype, msn or anything else I'm using, strange thing is the internet doesn't seem to be booting my brother off and he's on a wireless connection which is strange. I'd imagine there's some sort of settings on the main router panel but i'm not quite sure and if there's it wouldn't make sense to kick me off and not my brother. Anyone got any ideas? it refreshes for a split second and kicks me off everything.

I get this at my parents house. Bloody annoying! Never did find the cause for it cause no one else got kicked off except me!

Aww man, I've been on the phone to my ISP loads this week. They're getting sick of me . I might give them a bell tomorrow but if anyone has any suggestions in the mean time I'd really appreciate it.


Could it possibly be the network I'm connected through? I know I'm connected to port 3 but I don't see how changing it would make a difference. Oh and I just asked my brother did he notice anything different and he said he gets booted off xboxlive every few hours which is a direct connection also.

Are you sure that's your router's make/model? I wouldn't have thought Cisco would be used in a home environment and I can't find any information on that model?

I think they made an exception because we were getting some strange noise coming through the line outside which degraded the connection by loads and they couldn't find a solution so offered to replace the router with one this one. I'm getting 135mbs but at times youtube videos take the piss to load on the lowest settings and as I said the connection seems to refresh every so often it's getting so frustrating

@Recursion;

do you think this has anything to do with it? Client lease time

Well unless there is some serious flaw with the router that should not affect anything as the computer should automatically attempt to renew the IP address lease when half of the time of the expiry has elapsed (i.e 30mins in this case). Although if the computer could not renew the IP address you would lose internet connectivity.

So it could be failing to renew the ip address? Have you got any suggestions pal?
