Wireless internet slow downs

I have always kind of had this problem but now it has driven into overdrive here. My internet comes to a full stop almost and lots of web pages dont load. So I have to unplug my modem and wireless router twice a day for 30 seconds. Now there should be no reason why I should have to do this so often or at all, any suggestions?
Thank you

same thing happens to me

is it all the time, or just with a certain ISP

This has always been a problem with me, and it has been with all ISP's but never this bad. For some reason it has just decided to pick up. I have a motorola internet thing, and I'm using a Linksys Wireless router. Anyone with a solution?Thanks

No one knows?

Which router do you have? the specific model I mean. And what do you mean by "motorola internet thing"?

Im guessing he means a motorola cable modem?

best thing to do is go to your manufactures website and check for your wifi card updates. I have the samething happen. And it not the connection cause i can use a pcmcia card and get full speeds.

Your right I have a motorola Cable Modem, and a WRT54G Linksys wireless Router. I'm getting sick of having to restart everything twice a day when there should be no need for this. Any help would be great, thank you.

I had the same problem with my linksys, you need to keep them cool. Get it in a well ventilated area, if that isn't good enough, point a desk fan on it.

It does not feel warm in anyway so I dont think that is the issue.

you would probably get better responses in the networking subforum

I've also had to reload the firmware on occasion. If you have one of the linksys's that can take the dd-wrt firmware, I'd use it.

My router does the same thing, it just gets too hot and decides to quit on me, sometimes several times a day, but not everyday.

The quick and easy solution to an overheating router is to have a fan blow on it.

Many home class routers are prone to freeze ups if too much data is pulled on them at once. I noticed this with a unit we have at our office which acts as a temporary router sometimes. This is some mobile-card Linksys unit that we used when the main router is being updated. This main router is a business class Linksys RV016.

At home, this is the reason I use a Linksys RV042 business class router as I cant stand the weak processors and memory on many of the home class units. My RV042 NEVER freezes or hangs up from too much data.

I also had an issue in the past with a Belkin Pre N router that couldnt hold cable or dsl connections steady and had trouble with the IP renewal request that most always-on services need to go through every 3 days or so.

You get what you pay for, I guess Still holds true in computing, in every aspect.

If you don't pull much data, you shouldnt have to be dealing with this sort of issue. A firmware update should fix it, or worst case, a total replacement by Linksys. Most linksys products are covered by a three yr warranty so make use of it and get yours RMAed!
