If I understand you correctly, you may have TWO issues. One with the router and one with the dsl modem. Resetting the router will not help if your dsl modem is having an issue. The next time you are experiencing an issue, if you can, plug an ethernet cable from your pc to the dsl modem and see if you can access the internet. If you CAN access the internet at that point then the router is having an issue. If you can't access the internet then the dsl modem is having an issue. If you can connect to the internet via the dsl modem then plug the cable into the linksys router. At this point if you cannot access the internet then the issue is the with the router/dsl modem connection. At this point resetting the router and changing the port that the ethernet cable from your pc is plugged into may resolve the issue. You DO NOT need internet access to apply the patch to the router. You DO need internet access to download the patch from the linksys website. If you want to prove this point, turn off the dsl modem. Connect the ethernet cable from your pc to the router. Open up your browser and type the ip address 192.168.1.1. Does the router config page appear? If so, apply the patch. The router's web page is internal to the router not external on the internet. Other info: While I was dealing with linksys tech support they had me change my ip address so it is no longer 192.?.?.? its 10.10.?.? I'm not sure whats the purpose of this but it works. When my phone company set-up my dsl hardware, I didn't know that it was also a wireless router. I had to disable its wireless functionality and that stablized my network. I hope this helps. -- bflatmajor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bflatmajor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=794 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41111 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
