I have a Dlink DI 604 connecting my TWO XP machines and an xbox 360. I have the router set up correctly and have the LATEST firmware. The problem I'm having is if the router isn't used for a while (like overnight, for example) and I then try to get online, I get the "LIMITED to no connectivity" message and I can't access the internet. The only way to get it to reconnect is to unplug it from the router and then reconnect it. Yeah, sure, that works, but it's a pain. Is there any way to set it up so that it doesn't drop the connection?Its a problem that almost everyone with wireless Internet has. (even I have it.)
But normally you only have to reset the router once or twice a month.
So if you're sure that you did set all the settings of the router wright then I can only say sorry man.
You could try a total reset but...

Jonas This is a wired router though, no wireless. Is it still a common issue, something that should happen every day?No it shouldn't happen everyday. If it's happening that often it might be a sign that the router is malfunctioning. You could try resetting it and see if that changes anything.check your network card settings on your computer. Look for the "allow the computer to power down this to save power" setting. Normally a check box and disable it.

The machine may need a reboot after to get the setting to work.

It SOUNDS like your machine is shutting off your NIC and when you try to use it the next day your router doesn't know who your NIC is....

Give it a shot and see if it helps

I'll try it, thanks. Otherwise I may just buy a new router. I bought this one used off of Ebay for $15 and sometimes you get what you pay for, lol.Quote from: Spoiler on July 31, 2007, 09:33:11 AM
