can't connect when 3 or more devices are already connected to the internet

Brahim8500 · Nov 13, 2016

Hello guys i've been having this annoying issue for a long time.

my pc is connected to the router "HG532" via ethenet cable, and we have other two laptops and 3 smart phones at home via wifi.

so for example if i turn on my computer while 2 other devices are connected, i can't connect with my computer or even log in the router settings and i have to restart the router to fix it.
the same for other devices, i have to restart the router.

is this suppose to happen, is it because the router has limited access ?

thank you

Googled that Router really quick and a bunch of threads about it dropping popped up:

Quite a few suggestions, but some worked for some people, others did not.

Check your DHCP settings on the router.
It may be set to only give out only a few IP addresses.
Most are set with a starting and stopping address.
IE 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.5 etc.... would give out 4 ip addresses.

Followed a couple of the links above.
Seems to be a common problem with the router.
Most have limited memory which is used for error correction.
Once the memory fills up the router no longer works. Only option is to do a reset. Unplug it for 30 seconds and plug it back in. This clears the memory, so it can work again.

thank you everyone, following the links above i tried disabling upnp and changing the mtu, but the router went insane lights started going on and off, then all off but the dsl, power and ethernet. although someone from the isp fixed it i decided to get a new one.

@Unolocogringo thanks that makes sense
