Hi, a few day ago i bought a wifi modem router netgear n150 and i'm havinh problem with the internet. Before i bought this modem i had the one that my isp gave me and everything worked well. When this problem started the connection would last a little more than an hour. now it lasts 10 minutes. The problem: the browser will behave like there is no internet, but according to windows 8 and the light on the modem the connection is fine. Since when i changed the upnp advertisement period to 1440 minutes the connection started to last less time. To fix the problem i simply disconnect and reconnect again. If i use the diagnose, it will reset the wifi adapter and give me the error "the default gateway is not available". I really hate this. What could it be?

It's wired the exact same way. I'm connected using wifi. Some minute ago i was diagnosing to see if maybe it was the wifi adapter's fault, using a macbook but the problem happend on both computers. But as soos as it dropped the dsl light started blinking. So i connected my isp's modem to see what happens.
 


You may have to talk yo your ISP to get the modem/router "provisioned" on their network for it to work properly.

You will still need to tell your ISP of the new modem. That MAC address needs to be in their system.
