Sometimes very slow or not finding router at all

Dec 07, 2007 3 Replies

x-no-archive: My router seems to be cutting my connection to almost nothing about half the time or not connecting at all. And often my router is not showing up when I view available routers in the area (although others DO). No amount of refreshing helps. I have to go over and physically power cycle the router in order for it to be accessible again. This has been driving me INSANE for weeks now.


I should add I have a D-link dI-524 router.

Defective power supply? IIRC These came with either a 7.5V, 1A linear or a 5V, 2.5A switcher. Both run hot. Try to find a similar unit to test with.

A, C, D or E?

If its not the PS then maybe a updated flash will help?

I think it's interference from other routers, microwaves, portable phones, etc. Apparently there is nothing that can be done. What a drag as it is getting worse. Today I couldn't find my router for 8 hours.
