My Belkin F5D9230-4 Router loses internet every 4:25mins, reconnects but ruins downloads & streams - help!?

Answer 1

Don't use belkin router or internet card (for old notebooks)
I had it and I had the same problem. If you have a Belkin router and a internet card from another company, then it will lose connectivity too.

Being too far from the router (if wireless) also causes connection problems. Too many walls between you and the router also causes connectivity problems. If you are too far or have too many walls between you and the router, then go to MicroCenter and get a bridge (D-Link or Linksys). I have two buildings and I have to use a bridge to connect two building with wireless.

Use D-Link or Linksys and don't get b, get g or super g.

Hello,

(ANS) Frequent loss of connectivity of this kind may well be due to a high noise level on your phone line. A high noise level on your line may well be just enough to trip the connection to either drop completely or loose sync with the phone exchange.

**The problem could also be related to a poor quality or faulty line filter or ADSL splitter. You could definately try another filter on your BT master socket and see if that resolves it, which it may or may not (may not if the problem is mainly noise levels).

**Noise levels on the phone line will go up and down all the time (in any period in 24hrs), or can spike up & down too. What you ideally need is a consistently low noise level for broadband connections to remain reasonably stable.

**There are settings within some routers (see the config page/s) that reset the routers connection if the router has been idle. Idle time out settings and that might be set too low and that might have this effect. (not very likely though but not impossible, check all your routers settings though).

The best way to deal a high noise level is to get BT to test your phone line for noise levels, but if its broadband related then you HAVE TOO go through your own ISP's technical support dept. Why? because unless your ISP is BT, BT wont deal with your problem directly you have to go through your own ISP. Which is ovbiously a total pain ands slows things down too.

**Pick up the receiver of your phone and see if the ambient sound on your line is full of crackles, if it is thats your problem. The line shouldnt have any or VERY little crackling with broadband.

Answer 4

Are you on XP Service Pack 2 or 1? If on 1, this is a common problem, especially with VPN connections. If you're on 1, I suggest you update

Answer 5

Mine used to lose it, not as quickly as yours though.
On the second page of your belkin setup wizard. Try changing the mtu setting to 1400. This worked for me, take note of what the mtu is now in case you have to change it back again.
Good luck
