Broadband connection problems
OK you computer legends out there:
I have a Netcomm NB5 ADSL2+ modem router connected to a second phone point, the main phone point has a filter attached as per the instructions from the ISP who sent me the modem.
I have Windows XP Home OS NetComm NB5 connected via Ethernet, as the other option didn’t seem to work.
Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11 is the browser of choice, although I occasionally use Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.15. (in fact I'm on Firefox now)
Norton Antivirus installed.
Why is it that the modem connection drops out regularly? What are the possible reasons and what might be a solution? In the last month not a day has gone by without the fkn thing losing connection for some period of time. This is unbelievably frustrating and my ISP has no answer other than "turn the modem off, wait a couple of minutes, then turn it on again. This should work" Argh
In fact, while typing this at 9:45 this evening the connection has dropped out, requiring me to wait until now to post it.
If anyone has any way of helping I will be eternally grateful. You may have my first-born child, although I don't think she's gonna like that idea.....
Please? Anyone?
