Frequent Cable Internet Disconnections

Hello,
First time post. I'll do my best to explain my problem. It may be rather lengthy.
My problem is this:
I have cable internet access. External modem connected by ethernet cable. It worked great (for close to 2 years) with ZERO problems up until a few days ago. Then, I began to experience connection interruptions (maybe not the correct terminology). What happens is, I'll open my internet browser (Safari 1.3.2) and everything is fine. Then it will "freeze up", pages begin to load normally then just stop. Also, when gaming online there will be a sudden warning message in game of "connection interrupted" and I'm forced to quit the application. Both of these instances seem to happen after 15 to 30 minutes of normal activity. If I then go to the APPLE MENU - LOCATON and change my location from AUTOMATIC to the one made when initial setup was done with the cable install 2 years ago, then back to automatic again and open safari, everything is working fine until the connection is "interrupted" again. The process just repeats itself over and over. Under NETWORK STATUS, I've got the GREEN light (built-in ethernet is currently active). TCP/IP window is setup per internet provider instructions, with a "USING DHCP" configuration. Once again, have never had problems before and haven't changed setup or anythng that may have caused this. Internet provider tech support gave me little help. They did say something about a "network disconnection time" but couldn't elaborate because it was a personal solution of 1 employee and went against their company protocol. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for reading this entirely too long description, I hope I didn't leave any important details out.

I changed the ethernet cable and had the cable company replaced the modem as well. Field technician said they were having problems on their end with interference at the time. The problem seems to be rectified by these replacements.

Frequent internet disconnects for over a year

I have been suffering frequent disconnects from the internet for over a year. Each disconnect lasts for up to two minutes, rarely longer. Sometimes the disconnects have been as frequent as thirty or more times per hour. Sometimes I have no problems for many days.
I'm using HH5 and have Infinity 2 with a typical speed of circa 60mbps. Speed isn't an issue but the frequent disconnects are a pain. BT Broadband support have been unable to see the disconnects happening. As far as they are concerned, the line is fine.
If the disconnect happens when I'm using Google Chrome, I get a status message "Resolving Host" in the bottom left and, after a short delay, a screen appears saying "This webpage is not available. DNS Probe Finished. No Internet." Other devices, including BTTV, either give a message to the effect that there is no internet connection or just "hang". As far as I can tell, all devices, whether wired or wireless, 2.4GHz or 5GHz,, disconnect simultaneously.
I have tried disconnecting every device from the hub except the BTTV and the disconnects still happen.
BT have checked the line countless times, sent an engineer to my house, replaced my home hub three times, I have replaced all cables, replaced the phone/broadband socket, done countless resets etc all to no avail. The HH5 lights don't change colour when the internet connection drops.
After checking the BTCare Community Forums and discovering the event log in the HH5 I discovered that, when the disconnects occur, an "IN: BLOCK [16]..." message appears in the event log for the Firewall of the hub. At the end of this message I have copied a 12 hour firewall event log from today. Every "IN: BLOCK [16]..." event seems to coincide with an internet disconnect so that amounts to circa 40 disconnects in the past 12 hours.
What are these "IN: BLOCK [16]..." messages and why does my internet connection drop every time one of these messages appears? I checked the IP addresses for some of these "IN: BLOCK [16]..." messages. The first IP address in each message I checked was in China. The second IP address for each event I checked is BT in Boston, UK. My suspicion is that the BT server is logging me out every time one of these "IN: BLOCK [16]" events occurs. Logging back into the server then takes up to two minutes and, in the meantime, I have no internet connection.
BT Broadband support in India say that there is nothing they can do to address these internet dropout issues. They can only deal with line or hub faults. Their only suggestion was to disable the firewall on my HH5 but, given all these potential attacks from Chinese IP addresses, I refused to do this.
BTW, the HH5 IP address ending in 65 is my BTTV box.
I'd be grateful for any help and advice to resolve this issue. Here is the Firewall event log;

Ectophile - thank you for your reply. I tried the quiet line test and the line sounds good. There's no crackle or static. Just a very faint hiss if I turn the volume on my handset up full.
I've had three replacement hubs in the last year or so and they have made no difference to the frequency of the internet drop-outs.
The only fault that has been detected in all of this time was back in January when BTTV 2nd line support in the UK establish a link with my PC and monitored the connection. (They had a lot of difficulty establishing this connection and they were convinced I had no internet connection even though I did at that point). As a result of this monitoring and other testing, they diagnosed a very brief, intermittent drop out in the fibre-optic link between the surface box and the exchange. The 2nd line support engineer commented that this was a very strange fault because the fibre-optic connection normally either works or it doesn't.
He called out a BT engineer to investigate the fibre fault. This engineer told me that he had "reset" the fibre-optic link at the surface box. Having done this, he couldn't find a fault so visited my house, undertook line checks, replaced my HH4 with a HH5, checked out all wiring, tested the socket etc monitored for 20 minutes, couldn't find any further fault and left. The problems have continued however and BT India support just keep running their standard line tests and finding no fault.
I tried running a repeating ping test today using a tool called “WinPing”. I was using my BT email server for the ping test. The ping was set to 1 second intervals with the time-out set to a high level of 3000ms. I wasn’t using the internet at the time so I have no idea whether there is any correlation between the "timed-out" and/or slow response pings and the internet drop-outs that I have been suffering.
The eight and a half hour test gave an average ping time of 45ms but there was a lot of variability;
101 pings "timed-out" without a response (>3000ms).
6 pings were between 2000ms and 2999
23 pings were between >1500ms and 1999ms
87 pings were between 1000ms and 1499ms
139 pings were between 500ms and 999ms
66 pings were between 250ms and 499ms
428 pings were between 50ms and 249ms
680 pings were between 40ms and 49ms
12,296 pings were between 32ms and 39ms
There were no periods of more than a few seconds where WinPing couldn’t ping the server so this test doesn’t explain why I get the frequent drop-outs of up to 2 minutes unless perhaps the problem is caused by short drop-outs causing my connection to reset? The message I get on my Laptop / Google Chrome when the internet connection drops-out is a “Resolving Host” message at the bottom left and, after a short delay, a screen appears saying "This webpage is not available. DNS Probe Finished. No Internet." Other devices come back with various message to the effect that there is no internet connection, even though the HH5 light remains blue.
Do the ping test results indicate any particular issue or are these results normal?

WAG120N - Frequent Internet Disconnection Issue

I have bought a Linksys WAG120N few days back & after i got it , i also updated it to the newest firmware from the Linksys site.The Firmware version for my product is , 1.00.12 Annex A.
But i am getting a frequent internet disconnection after installing the Router/Modem.I am not a newbie in this.I have done my CCNP with full marks & currently working in IBM India & i have enough knowledge on how to configure Routers.
I have done the Flashing in the correct process & after Flashing , i did a 30-30-30 Reset as explained in this forum somewhere but the issue is still existing.
I am listing below what i have done so far. :-
1) After getting the Router , i have updated to the newest firmware & Hard-Resetted the Router as explained in this forum.
2) Then i configured the modem with the values from my ISP.I have done it both manually & also tried the Linksys Setup wizard that came on the CD with the Product and the SETUP WIZARD HAS MY ISP ON THE LIST as well.
3) I got the net connected after configuring but only for some time.After that , i am constantly getting disconnected from the Internet no matter what if i use the Wired or the Wireless devices to access the Internet.I tried setting the Router with both wireless Security enabled & disabled.No luck in either cases.Almost all of the time i get a disconnection when the DSL Link is Steady on the WAG120N.So, this should not be a Line problem.Also i can access the Net with my ISP provided Modem.No problems at all.
4) I tried uninstalling the Anti-Virus & the Internet Security program i use which is Symantec Norton Internet Security 2010.No luck.
5) I have Formatted & did a Clean Install of Windows 7 X64 & Windows XP SP3 & tried running the Router on a freshly installed operating system with no other software installed.I tried different Machines , Different Operating Systems , Different Lan Ports.No luck.
6) I deactivated Windows default Firewall & every Power Saving functions of my OS.No luck.
7) Linksys suggested me to visit the Service Center & get a replacement.I did visit the Linksys Authorized Service Center & got a new WAG120N & brought that to my home.I had to pay around 20 USD Taxi Fare as the Service Center is at the remotest part of my city.I wish if Linksys had a Pick-Up & Drop facility which nearly every big companies offer in my place.
8) The new WAG120N did not change anything.The disconnection issue is still existing.
9) There is absolutely NO problem in my ADSL line.I am using a 512kbps ADSL connection & when i use the CHEAPEST Wi-Fi ADSL Modem which has been given by my ISP , i can access Internet just fine , no problems at all either in Wired or the Wireless.So, in this case The Linksys ADSL Router is at fault.
10) I can see the ADSL line Stats with my 20 USD worth of Huawei ( ISP provided ) Modem but the 150 USD worth of Cisco/Linksys WAG120N does not support showing the ADSL Line stats ( or at least the Firmware doesn't support it ) which is unbelievable for a company of caliber like Cisco.
The two most important things every Modem at least should display are :-
1 ) SNR Margin
2 ) Attenuation
These two are absolutely a Must-Have features if you want to see how good your ADSL connection is & i am surprised to see that my cheapest ISP modem does have these but a Cisco product does not. !!!!!!!!
I have called the Linksys support again & they told me that they are Escalating my case to their 2nd Level.
I got a response from their Level 2 Support Person & he asked me to provide information about my case & i had sent him a reply 2 days ago but no reply from him.
And I am NOT the only person with this problem.I do not know Linksys knows this or not but there are several Linksys users who are using this model & are facing the exact same issues as me.
Here are some of them & they have been posted on this community itself :-
1) http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Cable-and-DSL/Wag120n-problem/td-p/300397
2) http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Cable-and-DSL/WAG120N-keeps-disconnected-from-internet/m-p/330870/...
Tell me Sir , what should i do ? Should i sell it & get another brand or Linksys is going to help me to resolve the problem ? I am extremely sorry to say that i feel regretted that i invested my hard earned money into this which just does not want to work at all.I am too much frustrated & not going to buy any Cisco product if my problem does not get solved because i can not bother the disconnection problem as i need to stay connected all the time for my job & also for my personal reasons.It is a shame that i had to pack my Linksys up on the shelves & have to use the cheapest quality Chinese ( No offense ) Modem because at least the connection does not drop here & I can use it for what it is meant to be.
I will be expecting a quick reply from you people & would also hope that you will be able to solve the problem.Also i think the problem is not the Router but the Firmware itself is faulty but i am not sure about that because this is my first Cisco product & frankly speaking I am very much disappointed with it.I would very much like to experience a Cisco product because i thought it is an World Class product in the business.So, please help me resolve this problem.Either Linksys should help me resolve the problem and get me an working product or i would want to get my money back.Thank You.
(Mod note: Edited for guideline compliance.)

Yes but I think Linksys should give me another one which is working right ? Why should i invest in another Router as i just bought it & its already too pricey here.
I need an ADSL Wi-Fi Modem Router & there is only three models avilable here.One is this one which i'm using , WAG120N & the other two are WAG160N & WAG320N & both of them costs more than triple than that of WAG120N.And no one is going to give me a replacement here.I can get the replacement but the same Router.I can not upgrade it without having to buy a whole new router which costs thrice than my current one.
So, i would be highly oblized if Linksys can give me a replacement because only they can replace it with another model but Linksys India customer Care is only suggesting me that they can issue a replacement for the same model & can not give any other model.
I sent my concern to the 2nd Level Technicians but have not received any reply.Feeling helpless at the moment.
My posts are edited & most important parts are being deleted.Please do not edit my post.All i am wanting to get a suggestion for my problem.I do not want to bother you with my problems but the communities are meant mainly for that purpose so that we can help & support each other.
Thank you.

WRT54G: Frequent, but intermittent Disconnects

I have a WRT54G that I've been using for almost 2 years now. For the most part, the router works great, even though it will occassionaly drop my computer's [i]wired[/i] connection and often drop my Xbox's [i]wireless[/i] connection. More recently, I have upgraded to Windows 7 and am experiencing very frequent, but intermittent disconnects which mainly appear to be on the wired end.
Steps I've Taken Thus Far
Updated NIC drivers
Updated Router Firmware (Apparently 8.00.7 is the latest for my router.)
Reset router to factory configuration and reconfigured
Searched all over the internet for a solution
Basically, this is what happens: I'll be online, usually playing a game or trying to d/l a patch for one and things will be great, but out of nowhere, the router's power light will start blinking and the little SES button (that Cisco one that lights up) will shut off - this is when I lose my connection. Sometimes it's just temporary and the router will cycle, the powerlight will go solid and the Cisco light will turn back on. Often, I have to unplug and plug the router back in to get it to cycle. I don't think I'm losing connection to my cable modem as the Internet light stays active, but maybe. So it seems to me that I'm mainly losing connection on just my own network. The strange thing is that sometimes I can go for [i]hours[/i] without any trouble but sometimes I can't make it 10 minutes without losing my connection 3 or 4 times.
Any help?

Since you have done all the settings on your Router, and already upgraded the firmware on your Router... As you have mentioned that after a period of time, the power light on your router starts flashing and at that moment you are disconnected from all your computer...
Well i think its a problem with the router itself. I hate to say that but I think its time for you to get a New Router.

i had a problem connecting to a TV cable, i hade an error note: " the router is not able to connect to the DSL/cable internet, please turn the broad band modem off then on and try again"
i solved this problem by using the"Easy Link Connect" programe of "Easy Link Network Tools" support...the programe is very easy to use..the stpes are baby steps and it does everything automatically.
thanks to Linksys support

I have been able to connect. Pinging works fine. The problem I have is that it is inconsistant. I cannot relie on the ability to connect every time.
I may be connected for several minutes and then disconnect. Come back several hours later and then can't connect.
I feel I have navigated thru almost all the settings but have overlooked some little detail which is causing the inconsistancy.

Comcast Cable Internet not working with router (WRT54G), but network is fine?

My Comcast Cable Internet is not working with my router (WRT54G), but my home network is fine. The internet works without router.
I have a WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router from Linksys.
I was using Bellsouth DSL Internet up until two weeks ago.
I had my DSL modem connected to my router, and the router let me use the internet and share some files and printers with my laptop upstairs.
A few weeks ago we changed to Comcast cable. The technician came in and connected it himself, but only for the desktop. The internet worked perfectly, and still works perfectly on my desktop (the one downstairs). He didn't really give me any instruction or CD-roms for it.
When I tried connecting my router, the internet stopped working. It was weird because the router worked for the file sharing and printer sharing between both my computers, but the internet didn't work. Although, the light for the internet is lit on the router itself.
I even have this program called "AOL Network Magic" which shows a map of what is connected to the router, and it shows that the router and my laptop and desktop are connected, but then it has an "X" for the internet connection.
I have tried everything. I lost all of my CDs and things that came with Linksys, but I downloaded some guides from the Linksys website and it doesn't really help. I tried something called "NetSet", but after I set everything up it says my router is not compatible or something with NetSet. I read a bunch of FAQs, I tried going to comcast and seeing if they had any FAQS about it, but I can't find anything.
Maybe one of you can help me?
Also, I don't know my modem's IP address. I had it for Bellsouth, and sometimes when I would lose my connection I would go there and click on "reconnect" or something like that.
So the only way I can use the internet is to disconnect everything from my router and connect the ethernet cable directly to the modem.

You may open the web setup utility page of the router by typing its IP address on your browser's address bar. By default, it is 192.168.1.1. When you're asked for username, you may leave it blank. For password, its "admin". If in case that does not work, reset your router at the back for 30 secs and do a power cycle again, see if it becomes accessible after that...

Move computer Internet disconnects and won't reconnect.

My internet works fine if I keep my computer in one place, but the second I move it even an inch to the left or right the internet disconnects and airport shows i'm not connected to any wireless networks and won't let me turn airport back on. The only way for me to get back on the internet is to restart my computer. Also if my computer is in one place and i want to move to another room i have to turn the airport off, move to the other room, then turn airport on to reconnect to the network. If i just pick up the computer and walk to the other room the internet stops working and i have to restart my computer. Any way I can fix this or is this a hardware issue?

Having exactly the same problem on my 15inch 2011 Macbook after also going from 10.6.8 to Mavericks. Wifi is totally unresponsive and I can only get the internet working through an ethernet cable. Been looking for a fix for about a week now. Nothing i've seen suggested in the forums seems to work.
Really need to get this working again, as I rely on Wifi to use my mb at work.

Why is my email typng so slow? I have premium cable internet.

When I am typing emails, there is a frequent delay between typing the key and the letters appearing in the email. It's very hard to write since this delay often causes typos. Then the blinking bar that moves along with the typing keeps jumping around, making it even harder to type. What is going on? I have premium cable internet, then Yahoo as my primary email, through Firefox 3.6. THANK YOU.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem, I find my partners N8 loads yahoo mail fast but the phone hasn't been upgraded to anna.
My N8 however has anna and now slow loading emails, or not loading the headers at all, or late.
Next month I will have had the N8 for a year, and I think this is going to be the last straw, I have no intention of staying with Nokia after all the years I've stuck with them when they start using that boring windows os. Does anyone else agree that the home screen and menu's are boring on the windows7 phones. Green Tiles I think they call it?
I hate apple with those boring same old icons on each homescreen, looks like it will have to be android and a HTC handset. Any recommendations, if I finally give up on my obsession with declining Nokia?

Internet Disconnection Problem

Hi Everyone, I have a windows Vista PC, which uses a Netgear WN111 USB Adaptor to connect to my wireless network. The issue i seem to have is when i dock my iphone to sync/charge my internet works fine. But as soom as I eject it through itunes and pull it out of the dock/disconnect cable the internet disconnects!!
I have no idea what is causing this but i end up having to restart my PC everytime i disconnect my iphone!
Any suggestions....

Desktop or laptop?
If a Desktop, is your USB wireless adaptor connected to a higher powered USB port which are located in the back of the computer and the same for your iPhone when connected? The USB ports on the front are usually lower powered USB ports to be used for a device such as a keyboard and mouse.

RV042 - I have customer who upgraded to 20 meg cable internet service and can only get 10 meg thru the router.

RV042 - I have customer who upgraded to 20 meg cable internet service and can only get 10 meg thru the router. The customer had upgrade to a 20 meg cable internet service from a 10 meg service. The customer is only able to get the 20 meg service going from cable modem to PC. If he goes thru the RV042 router, he is only getting up to 10.7 down and 1.37 up. Additional steps taken….He had a Linksys SRW224P switch connected to the RV042 router and we had disconnected this switch for testing purposes. We performed the speed test again and we get the same speed results so we know the switch is not the issue.He had upgraded to firmware version 1.3.12.19 – TM Feb 13, 2009 – tested speed and no change.We accessed the web management interface and tried several modifications. This includes the following…..- We disabled the firewall – no change- We disabled SPI with is the Stateful Packet Inspection (I was thinking this one would do it) – no change in speed.- We disabled DoS (Deny of Service) – no change.- We set MTU to Manual and tested various byte increments based on MTU ping testing. – Once again, no change in speed. He is NOT using Load balancing on the routerHe has NO access rules but does have a few port forwards. Finally, with each change, he is saving the changes on the router.

You are expecting 20MB throughput on a $150 router? Well, ok, maybe.. Can you check on your router or switch if the port is set or auto negotiated to 10 or 100? That could explain 10MB limit (although technically a 10Mb port is considered 20Mb theoretical max throughput as 100Mb port is considered 200Mb per Cisco). So maybe you ended up with 10/half somehow? MTU 1500 would also be good for that connection I think and to try to get max throughput.

Internet disconnects when trying to connect a vpn on a different user account on the same computer

Im trying to have one user account with my real ip address and another user account on windows 8 with a vpn connection. Everytime i switch (i dont logout i just lock the user) then try to connect a vpn on the other user account the internet disconnects
on the other user account. It's like it wants to change my entire internet connection to use the vpn instead of having a seperate connection on each user account. is there a way around this or am i stuck having to use two laptops? I also unchecked
Use default gateway on remote network on the vpn.

Hi,
Try to temporary disable firewall to see if the same issue occurs.

This is definitely not the answer. Why is it marked as the answer?

My iPhone 6 order was canceled without my permission and without reason or explanation. I have had a verizon cell phone for 13 years and have gotten your cable/internet/phone when i moved out on my own because i had been so happy with the experience i had

I have had a verizon cell phone for 13 years and have gotten your cable/internet/phone when i moved out on my own because i had been so happy with the experience i had with the cell phone service. i ordered my new iPhone 6 on October 6th along with my husband. i was told by the sales associate at the vierzon store where i placed the order that it would ship a week before halloween. instead of a shipping confirmation, i received an email a week before halloween letting me know that my order had been placed on 10/24/14. i thought this was weird, but figured i could weight another week or two, no big deal. my husband got his phone in the mail yesterday. still no sign of mine. then this morning i got an email letting me know that my order was cancelled and if id like to place another order for a phone, then i can go back to the store and do so. why would i want to go through another month of this??? verzon lost my order. i never canceled it and i am beyond annoyed. i am looking to switch my entire house to another provider. this is ridiculous.

i did not get any reasons or explanations. the email just stated that my order was canceled and that it won't be posted to my credit card (i have more than enough to cover the cost, so that is not the issue). also my husbands phone was paid for from the same card moments before me. my balance is always paid automatically and on time. so that couldn't be the reason either. that's what so frustrating is because they didn't explain what happened. this is what the email read exactly:
"This email is to confirm that your order has been cancelled; you have not been billed for this merchandise.
If you would like to place a new order, you may do so by visiting your local retail store or going online to www.verizonwireless.com.
Business customers should refer back to their local Verizon Wireless Sales Representative if you have any questions or would like to place a new order.
Thank you, and we look forward to your business in the future.
Verizon Wireless"
it almost feels like its saying that i canceled it and that this was to confirm that i did. but i didn't cancel anything.

Cable internet (ethernet) won't work or even show up adapter

Hello,
I am owner of S10-3 laptop and I have problem - cable internet is not working. Adapter in adapter section or HWinfo (software, which shows hardware incomputer) won't show up nor internet working.
There is no changes if I put or remove cable. I tried installing driver, but it says it can't find adapter.
What can be problem and how can I fix it? Might it be physical problem?

Hi and welcome,
go in BIOS via F2 press F9 for default values.. F10 to exit ..
If possible try to boot with a live linux USB ..If there is cable LAN available... your windows should be restored .
Try an other cable , cable could be broken
If nothing help , call your local service if your S10-3 is under warranty.

How to run a cable internet on 877W router, please help.

Hello everyone!
I have made many variants of IOS configuration but nothing seem to work yet and finally I need someone to tell me if this is possible at all.
I was using 877W when I was registered to my ISP as a DSL user, everything was perfect. Now I'm using a cable internet and I just can't believe this device can't handle it. I'm trying to get it done for months with one result - network loop (I guess). Don't want to give up.
Situation is as following:
Because 877W doesn't have a routable port, I'm using a VLAN and a Bridge interface to assign an IP address from ISP.
ISP -> FE0 switchport -> VLAN 1 - BVI 1 (BVI with mac address set so ISP will give it IP from their DHCP)
interface FastEthernet0
interface Vlan1
no ip address
no ip redirects
ip virtual-reassembly
no autostate
bridge-group 1
interface BVI1
mac-address ####.####.####
ip address dhcp
ip nat outside
ip virtual-reassembly
By this configuration, internet works for for a while, then it drops and I have to restart BVI 1 interface to bring internet back again.
If I add this command in main config:
no spanning-tree vlan 1
Internet will never drop but it will became very slow, from say 35Mbps to 1-5mbps.
I think that I need somehow to force my ISP switch to "think" that my FE0 switchport is not a switchport but a single host.
Guys, I need your help!
