Dear all
I have had this router for a year or more now n its been fine until the last
2 months. What the problem is the RJ45 connections have to be 10 mb/full.

2) Every time my dad use sucure client to VPN in to work i always lost my
internet cant get out at all

3) The router drops every 3 to 4 hours or wen bearshare is running

Is it time to get a new router or what do i need to do to fix this its
drivin me mad


Thanks Alan W

I think you mean you reset the router to default settings, set it back up
for your needs and you still get "no love" from the router.

It is possible for these routers to go bad. They are just like any other
equipment. I have seen many of them overheat too often or just slowly die.
It is also possible you need to flash the router with the latest firmware to
see if that helps.

Beyond that - you are talking a $20-$100 item that may just not be worth the
trouble to investigate without at least having a backup to swap out with and
prove the trouble is the router.
