Hi,
Long-standing problem that is driving me nuts.
We have a wired and wireless net connected via switches to a Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL Firewall Router and a Linksys Cable Modem (v3). Current firmware on everything.
Have replaced both the router and the cable modem trying to fix this. No go.
What is happening is that we are just spontaneously losing internet connectivity. Generally we are ok inside the local net.
You can look at the cable modem status page when the internet has been dropped and it shows everything as operational and locked. Downstream strength is generally 45 to 50 dBmV and upstream -6 to -8 dBmV.
Can generally restore things by resetting the router (recycling) or accessing it and telling it to reset IP.
Problem *may be* charter.net cable service changing WAN IP address on us and the router is just not picking this up, continuing to try to address an old WAN IP as gateway.
Anyone got a fix for this, or other ideas?
Many thanks,
Scott
