My connection tends to drop off any time i'm using a p2p file transfer program, for example limewire, it will work for a few mins or maybe an hour then it will start losing connection temporarily then get it back, it will do this every time and more than once if i leave it on long enough, sometimes the connection will go out altogether and not come back, it does this too when running bittorrent which is a drag because it takes a while to ramp up the speed for those large files and everytime the connection drops off the speed goes back to 0 takes frickin forever to download a large file (days) even with a cable high speed connection. Incidentally whenever it loses the connection if i reset the router or sometimes the router and the modem the connection will be restored, i figure it has something to do w/ the router re-assigning an IP number or something as some sort of defensive mechanism as what it views as an introsion or some-such just not sure what to do about it, wired belkin rout

Check to see if there is a firmware upgrade for your router. it's probably a problem with your modem or your router. my router had a similar problem but I managed to resolve it by upgrading the firmware. you may not be so lucky...

Primarily, Check the your modem cable's and what is your modem mark? But you have a virus. What is your IP number's? Your IP number is 169.xxx.xxx.xxx.You have a virtual IP.
Secondarily, Check the your P2P program's.You know, P2P program's have a trojan virus and maybe you have been virus.

it ought to be your router is dropping the PPPoE connection. make an fact of your WAN IP tackle interior the router setup internet site, in case you spot that it disconnects after utilising Limewire or any random era, you could ought to enhance the Firmware or replace the router completely. Linksys has been widespread to have disconnection issues, yet you have a Westell, so maybe purely a Firmware flashing will do the trick.

How old is your Modem/Cable? How many P2P Programmes do you use? Only use one. Using more than one isn't safe. You should reinstall your programmes that lose their connection.
