Answer» Hi all
i play games online a lot, and every 2 minutes or so i get a connection interrupted for 2seconds,then it goes back to my normal ping. i timed it and it is a constant time gap. I have the wireless netgear router in my room and its connected to the phone socket. When it was first installed i never had this problem,but it is only recently i have. When i first installed it my ping was 30ms somedays and 200 someddays,it was never constant,but no connection interrputions. Now my ping is 30ms most of the time it connection interrupts. could anyone help me on this matter,thnxwow.. that's a vague explanation...
Is your pc connected DIRECTLY to the wireless router? Or are you using the wireless connection? Is it connected to the modem?
Your ping is just a SMALL indication of what's happening... It could be many things.. Is your connection Cable or DSL? Do you have anything else connected to the Router? If you're using wireless, what kind of adapter do you have on the computer? If it's DSL, do you have filters on all the phones? So many things we need to know...
Thanks.Have you made any changes to your system recently?
Flamei have a netgear router connected to the phone cable. i then have an adapter connected to my computer so its wireless. they are like 30cm apart. i also have my sister on a computer in the other room. i havent done much else to my system.You keep saying your router is connected to the phone cable, but that's not how it works... You should have a modem and an ethernet cable attached between them. Your modem should be Cable or DSL.. and depending on the type of service you have will determine more about why you are having connection issues. But regardless of your type of connection, you should always reboot the modem when you have issues. Can you tell us what type of modem you have? Oh.. and if it's only a foot apart.. why not use an ethernet cable between the computer and the router to eliminate any chance of wireless interference?Quote You keep saying your router is connected to the phone cable, but that's not how it works... But that's exactly how it works!
The Netgear he's referring to is an ADSL router, in other words, it has a modem, firewall and switches etc combined.

What does your firewall tell you?
Are you aware of the Netstat command and what it does?
Have you tried setting up static rather than dynamic IPs?
Who is your ISP?
Oh.. netgear makes a DSL router? Well... My appologies. I'm just trying to get the config so we can start troubleshooting...
OK... So does this router have ethernet ports? If so.. you can TEST the connection on both and compare. But don't forget to reboot. Netgear have been making DSL ROUTERS for years. They're probably the biggest and most famous brand over here.
If it's a newish router it will probably have 4 ethernet and a wap and be similar to [highlight]this[/highlight].yep its like tht 1 mate
i use tiscali
i tried doing the ethernet cable from my router to omputer,but it didnt work,i dunno.
i belive it is wireless,becoz i decided to use the original modem i got b4 and there was no ci's
