Hey guys, I made a new network yesterday and it worked for half an hour before my router suddenly stopped working. All of a sudden, all of the three computers on my network disconnected with the internet and i was unable to reconnect. I have tried restarting all the computers and also resetting the router settings to default. Do you have any ideas? btw, when it was working, the computers automatically disconnected from time to time so i had to keep resetting the router any help would be appreciated cheers
It is a Inexq BR400 DSL/Cable router. My ISP is Bell Sympatico. that's all i can think of I don't know what firmware is. thanks
It sounds like your router is failing. If the router is powered up and all the computers LAN connections show "A network cable is unplugged" then the router is toast. If they show that they are still connected but you have no internet, a firmware update may solve the problem. Firmware is the software that is built into the hardware and runs the router. ~Rich Edit: There is no firmware update available for your router. I would contact Customer Support fir Inexq.
thank you in network connections it says that it is connected so i believe i do the firmware upgrade how do i upgrade?
Check my edit is the above post. I check the website and there is not firmware update available for your router. Sorry. Does the router get hot? Is it sitting on the carpet or is it on a hard surface? I wonder if it is overheating. ~Rich
