Hi

My router is a D-link DI-624 with the lastest firmware 2.70. It was good when I just bought it and upgrade the firmware but like after 2 months I started seeing that everytime I open eMule, my connection drops and I have to unplug the power cord from the router and then plug it again.
Now another problem is that I keep my PC on the hold day from 11:00am to 11:00pm and in the day I lost connection for like 5 times. What happens is that Im connected and like every hour the ballon pop ups and says No wireless connection and the little computer in the taskbar becomes a computer with an X. But after 8 to 10 seconds, I get internet back and connection and everything. But the problem is that I dont like my internet to drop every hour for 10 seconds!. and I want to use eMule too!
My router is the last revision C3 and my wireless card too is revision B3 DWL-G520.

Any ideas?

Dropped connections can be caused by several reasons.

Mostly a weak signal or interference.

Another cause is equipment overheating.

In activity is another.

Just to name a few.

What about your neighbors???

Run the scan you may be suprised...

Reply to blue68f100

Well everytime my card runs for a scan, it only finds my router.
Also, there is a computer with a PCMCIA card but my dad only uses it like once or twice a week and everytime he connects to the internet my connection drops. But I dont worry about that because is only once a week he uses the laptop

And as I told you there are no other routers in my zone. Only one but it appears like once every 3 days and is very very low so it looks like is kinda far.

Regards

PD: I just downloaded the last drivers for my DWL-G520 from the D-link site im waiting to see if I get any problems ;) I wont try with eMule right now I will just wait until I go to sleep to see if connection drops again.

Have you checked what you lease time is being set at. You have one for the WAN port which your ISP controlls, then you have one for lan. Some routers have seperate ones for the wireless vs wired. Default for some are around 1 hr if it haded been changed.

Well yesterday at like 9:00pm after installing the new drivers from D-link I had no problems until 12:30am.
Now I have woke up at 11:30am and until now Im having no problems.

Ill be careful to any problems and then post them here anyways thx for your help guys
