Hi guys. The past few weeks I've been having some connection issues. Here's the setup. My computer (using the network adapter of an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum mobo) is wired to a DI-514 router which is connected to a DSL modem. There are up to 4 wireless connections at any given time as well as a wired X-box 360. Currently since the term is ending and my roommates are home for summer, the 360 and most of the wireless devices aren't connected. However, those all worked when I was having problems.
Anyways, what will happen is randomly my connection stops working (to the router apparently since I can't even reach the configuration page 192.168.0.1). I could be playing a game or surfing the net, and it just drops or it's down when I turn it on after work etc. Some days it's working by the time I get up the next morning. Some times it takes more than a day (currently been down for 1.5 days). When it works, it's usually up for 1-3 days.
It has worked and then went down with automatic IP detection as well as a static IP so I'm not sure if those settings are that crucial.
I'd like to point out though that when I make a change to the LAN TCP/IP properties (when the LAN is down, still haven't tried when it's working), it's almost as if the process gets hung up somewhere because that window eventually goes to not responding. I usually have to restart the computer (the process has to be terminated automatically first which takes a few minutes) before the new settings (like static IP) take affect (as seen in ipconfig).
Another thing is that we reset our router about 3 weeks ago and it was around that time the problems started. Everyone has noticed that the internet has been sluggish since. I dunno if it's a firmware issue (does that need to be updated after a complete reset?) and if the router is the cause for my problem (which I find hard to totally believe since everyone else keeps their connection)
I have tried a different ethernet cable just to be safe and it doesn't change anything.
I'm thinking of buying a new network adapter but I don't want to waste $20 if the problem lies elsewhere.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
