Lose internet (DSL) connection

Ten months ago I had a new home security system installed. Part of that system utilizes the internet. Shortly after installation I started receiving notifications that the alarm was going off because of a lost internet connection. Before installing this new system I knew the internet would sometimes seem slow (in retrospect it dropped). I've tried for ten months to get Verizon to fix the problem. For many months I heard the line was checked and there was no proble. Another time a repair man came but the results of what he did made no difference. I've replaced the modem and was assured that would fix everything. No such luck. Last week finally a technician on the phone found the signal to be week and scheduled a service call. The repairman called afterward and said there was a problem with the line and he had switched the line. I just checked with the alarm company and the problem continues. I'm at my wits end (after many hours working on this issue). Is my only solution to find another internet provider? After 10 months it can't continue like this.

  • Intermittent High Speed Internet (DSL) Connection

    Calling Verizon technical support is a torture outlawed by the CIA as being too cruel. 
    Just got disconnected again from a phone call trying to resolve an intermittent DSL connection. I have a computer (Mac) temporarily hardwired to the Verizon modem (Actiontec GT704WGB) and several, both Mac and PC connected via wireless AirPort Time Capsule. All experiencing the same intermittent connection. Tech support decided it must be a problem with my computer...
    Even when the internet connection is down (browser pages don't load and my AirPort Utility software shows the internet not connected) the Verizon modem shows normal green lights. This is probably what is throwing Tech Support off.
    Unfortunately, when the tech started fooling with hold as I was hooking up a second computer, the dial tone started...typical.
    So, am I stuck calling again, or do I have options that don't involve switching to a Time Warner Cable modem solution?

    #1 What lights are lit on the modem combo?
    #2 How is the AirPort Time Capsule connected to the modem combo:
    a) A LAN of the AirPort Time Capsule is connected to one of the LAN ports of the modem combo ?
    b) The WAN port of AirPort Time Capsule connected to one of the LAN ports of the modem combo ?
    #3 By the dial tone started, you mean:
    a) You heard the dail tone on the phone wire ?
    b) Your comptuer that is connected to the modem combo got connected to the Internet ?
    #4 Do the screens of your Actiontec GT704WGB look more like
    a) http://screenshots.portforward.com/routers/Actiontec/GT704-WGv3/default.htm

  • Connecting printer to TC makes me lose internet connection

    When trying to connect my Canon Pixma MP550 to the Time Capsule, I encountered a mysterious problem: I can print from my MBP via TC but I am losing the internet connection (the DSL light on my ADSL modem starts to blink and the AirPort Utility says that there is a problem with the PPoE connection.
    Anyone having the same problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I have discovered that the problem was probably not related to the printer (even if other USB devices like memory sticks work when plugged in the TC). When trying to do a faster Time Machine backup and connecting my laptop to the TC with an Ethernet cable, the same thing happens - my modem loses Internet connection. Very curious, and to the date noone has been capable to find a solution...

  • All devices on network lose internet connection when Dell laptop connected

    I have successfully setup my AEBS network and am using two wireless clients--HP printer and Xbox access point (both 802.11 G) and a wired iMac that also is connected via Airport (so I can move it around if i want). I tried connecting my Dell Latitude D830 wirelessly and within a few minutes of connecting the AEBS loses internet connectivity. Unplugging and restarting the AEBS restores the internet but it just drops off again in less than 10 minutes. My question is, what might be causing this and what can I do about it? One peculiar thing to me is that I am using the WEP security option since the Xbox doesn't seem to support WAP2. When connecting the Xbox it reports the network as WEP but the HP printer and Dell Laptop but suggested the network was indeed WAP even though I'm clearing using WEP security. Maybe it's nothing but wanted to add for completeness.
    The Dell is running Vista Enterprise edition.
    Thanks for any help.

    I've noticed a similar issue. Any time my HP/Vista laptop is connected to my AEBS it loses the network connection at inconsistant time intervals(~10-15 min).

  • Wrt54gs loses internet connection when using P2P Ares

    I have a wrt54gs v5 and I've installed the latest firmware and reset back to factory then reconfigured.  Whenever Ares is started all other computers (wired or wireless) lose their inet connection.  Within 2-5 minutes of stopping Ares everything starts working again. I've checked Ares and it's set to am max of 10 connections. 
    I've hooked up my old befsx41 and it works fine but I need the wireless.  Both of these are talking to a befcmu10 cable modem.  I've never had problems with linksys before but from what I'm seeing on the forums the wrt54xxx doesn't seem to be of the same quality as the oldser stuff. Anyone know of any specific versions that fix this?
    (Mod Note: Edited for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

    Since your BEF works with P2P, why don't you simply convert your WRT into a WAP (wireless access point).  This way you will use the wireless of the WRT, while using the BEF to handle all the routing chores.
    To do this, setup the BEF as your primary router.
    Then wire one computer to port 1 (not the Internet port) on the WRT.  (Note:  Disconnect everything else from the WRT at this time.)
    Then in the WRT do the following:
    Turn off the DHCP server.
    Set the "Local IP address" to 192.168.1.2  (assuming no other device on your network is using this fixed LAN IP address, and assuming the BEF is set to use the 192.168.1.x  address space.)
    Save your settings.  Power down the WRT.
    Next, connect any numbered port on the WRT to any numbered port on the BEF.  Do not connect anything to the Internet port on the WRT.
    The BEF will control your router settings (DHCP server, port forwarding, etc.)
    The WRT will control your wireless settings.
    Please let me know whether this setup allows your P2P to work properly.

  • Lose Internet Connection When I Use IChat

    I lose my internet connection after using my IChat after a few minutes. This happens every time and I have to unplug and plug my my three boxes. My phone is connected to my internet so I lose my phone connection as well. Very annoying. Anyone know what is going on here?

    Is this a new box with the phone connection ?

  • When I connect imac to network via airport all devices on the network lose internet connectivity

    Every device stays connected to the network but the internet stops working. Usually the network will continue to function normally for about five minutes when the imac connects, but then every device loses internet access via the network, NOT just the imac. As soon as I turn off the imac's airport they get internet connectivity back. A wired network connection to the imac seems to work OK.
    The airport is configured as "Using DHCP"
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    As far as I know, no changes have been made to the computer recently (but it is not my machine and the owner isn't here atm)
    I found one other resource with the same problem here:
    http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/internet-networking-wireless/183185-turning-my- macbook-airport-breaks-internet-connection-entire-network.html
    but the solution didn't work. When I deleted the three files mentioned in the solution in that thread, my problem is not solved.
    If you have any ideas or need more information I would love to hear from you.
    Thanks guys.

    Yes it is possible that the two machines are creating a Computer-to-Computer network and are not going through the Express.

  • I lose internet connection every time my computer sleeps

    HI, I lose internet connectivity everytime my laptop sleeps or shuts down. why? and how do I maintain connectivity with wireless router?

    If you had mountain lion, you could've used a feature called power nap. It keeps networking on even when the mac is asleep.
    On other OS, I guess its bound to disconnect all networks when it goes to sleep You can try an app called Caffeine that doesn't let it go to sleep.

  • My WRT54G v5 router loses internet connection frequently

    My WRT54G v5 router loses internet connection frequently. Sometimes occurs when you enter a web or sometimes every few minutes, but without a pattern. I have W XP Pro with SP3 and I have a pc wired to the router and sometimes 2 notebook with Wi-Fi. What could be the problem?. Thank you very much.

    I have upgraded the firmware to v 1.02.8 and reduced the MTU to 1350 but after a few minutes of doing that I had the same problem... The router reboots itself, again and again and again...
    It's possible to run some diagnostic utility that somebody can check ??  
    It's possible it would be a router failure ??
    I note that sometimes is ok and when Entering some web pages the router reboots itself and I loose my internet connection, but others, the router reboots for no apparent reason...
    I dont know what to do...

  • My ipad mini loses Internet connection every time it automatically locks.

    My ipad mini loses Internet connection every time it automatically locks. I have to re-establish the connection but sometimes it would take too long for the Internet to be connected. I'm using a wireless connection

    just browsing around I found this question. Also on my mini retina I fight with this problem. After a lot of searching I found that the only solution is to switch to
    Airplane Mode, wait few seconds and switch again.
    Or, if you are lucky, to find a Genius who replaces your unit. Cheers

  • Macbook pro with maverick 10.9.2 loses internet connection after waking from sleep

    I am on a MAC Pro desktop and I am having the same issues. I go to system preferences and just click the network icon. Then I close mail and when it opens it now sees the network. This is getting very annnoying. 

  • Airport extreme loses internet connection all the time with imac and macbook pro

    I keep losing the internet connection with airport extreme on my imac and macbook pro but NOT with my pc

    Ok, so when you say you lose internet connection, is it disconnecting from your wireless network so there are no bars?
    And are there usually full bars?

  • WRTU54G-TM router loses internet connection and needs to be restarted to regain connection.

    We recently switched from a WRT54G to a WRTU54G-TM router from T-mobile and the new router seems to randomly lose our internet connection and needs to be restarted to regain it. It could be coincidence but this has happened a couple of times immediately after using our VoIP phone connected to it. I tried switching back to the old router and everything worked fine once again. Typically with the WRTU54G-TM it will stay connected for about a day or so and then it will need to be restarted. Although sometimes it will need to be restarted multiple times in one day. Just curious if anyone had any quick suggestions or setting configurations that I may have missed?
    Thanks for your input.
    Rylynn

    I just added the T-Mobile@Home service and set up a WRTU54G-TM this past Saturday. During the first 4 days, the blue light on the router went out and I lost phone service - until rebooting the router each time. Phone service returned about a minute after rebooting in each case.
    I did NOT lose Internet service while phone service was down.
    I reached T-Mobile customer care the second time, and the rep I spoke with mentioned that she had a couple of other calls similar to mine earlier in the day. So far, the reps had no official word regarding this problem, and the word going around was simply to tell people to reboot their routers.
    Tech Support had about a 20 minute hold queue, so I didn't yet to speak with a technician.
    The phone service has been up for the past 2 days -- curious to see how long it holds up this time. Also checking the Linksys site regularly to see if new firmware (beyond the 1.00.04 I have loaded) becomes available - maybe that will address the problem.
    When I complained to customer care, the one thing they did was to extend my "buyer's remorse period" to 30 days (instead of the usual 14). So I plan to hang on for another couple of weeks to see if this gets straightened out. I love the service, sound quality and price. Hoping it works out - I want to keep this!
