View Full Version : Problem with new router & Virgin Media internet

Hi there!
I have bought a new Belkin F5D8233uk4 N Wireless router, and every so often I lose connectivity to the internet, I look at the front of the router and the normally blue Modem light turns an orangy colour.
Then look at the modem and it has all the normal lights on, Sync & Ready on, Eternet light on and occasionally the send & receive lights flash.

Modem signal levels are
Cable Modem Downstream
Downstream Lock : Locked
Downstream Channel Id : 0
Downstream Frequency : 586750000 Hz
Downstream Modulation : QAM256
Downstream Symbol Rate : 6952 Ksym/sec
Downstream Interleave Depth : taps12Increment17
Downstream Receive Power Level : 6.0 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 41.5 dB

Cable Modem Upstream
Upstream Lock : Locked
Upstream Channel ID : 4
Upstream Frequency : 29200000 Hz
Upstream Modulation : QPSK
Upstream Symbol Rate : 2560 Ksym/sec
Upstream transmit Power Level : 54.0 dBmV
Upstream Mini-Slot Size : 2

I never had any problems with my 2 previous routers I have used.
Info from the router: (latest firmware sucessfully installed)

Version Info
Firmware Version 3.01.17 (Nov 29 2007 17:48:13)
Boot Version V0.13
Hardware F5D8233-4v3(01)

Could it perhaps have anything to do with this thread?

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/87/33633021-belkin-router-upgrade.html
If so, the firmware needs upgrading.

Looks like it's constantly renewing lease.

I could be wrong but no harm in looking.

Thanks Mags!

At first i thought it was that same thing, but no its a different router, this 1 here (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=1&ModuleNo=222186&doy=2m7) is what it is

Download Failed (1)

In the router pages, LAN > LAN Settings
the lease time of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address for each computer is forever, do you mean that setting?

Also, I upgraded the firmware to 3.01.17 from another version.

No, I mean the lease time for the ip address from the modem to router

Mine says
IP Address XX.XX.XX.XX

Not really no, all that site shows is a PDF with the setup instructions (have done all that or it wouldnt be set up), I have the latests firmware for the router (have stated this 3 times now) and that site dont describe my problem, or any other problem/ fault finding!

I have been setting networks up now for around 5 years, both wired and wireless, this has got me stumped!

I even changed the router settings from dynamic to static (being as I am supposed to have 4 static IP addresses) switched on my PC this morning only to find out that I couldnt get online, checked the router and it was the setting I changed last night, so the question is, WHY was I charged £10 for these static IP addresses when it seems that they are NOT static, as they change over night???

Bloody Virgin Media, they really do get my goat!

do you get the same problems without the router in place or with a different older router?

Angry@VMedia
02-07-2008, 12:03

Well I cant answer that as the old routers got sent to the recycling bank!
I also cannot do a straight enet connection to 1 of my PC's to the modem as I dont have a long ethernet lead.

When they installed all this, I have a 3-way splitter, 1 lead going into my v+, then another lead through my bedroom exiting my room through the brick wall, then down stairs to the v box in the living room, and a lead from the splitter (in my bedroom) to my daughters bedroom which is next door, and the modem is sat on top of a high wardrobe with the new router sat right next to it.

When I had my first Linksys router, occasionally it would drop out completely after transfering large amounts of data through it (be it wireless or wired) from 1 computer to another, then I got annoyed with it 1 day and threw it down the stairs (this of course resulted in it being smashed up) so my friend lent me their old homehub so I could use the access point facility, which worked good (apart from I could only have a max of 3 wireless devices connected, any more and I'd get a 192.168.x.x ip address with no connectivity) so at the weekend I went to maplin and bought this router as I eventually want to upgrade all wireless networking to N instead of the current 54G setup.

Now the router has been ok since I switched it on a few hours ago, if and when it happens again, i will check the logs of the modem & router and will post back with what I find. :)

virgin may get your goat but if everything was ok before the new router dont you think that might be the issue?????? why not try the belkin forum and have a rant over there

02-07-2008, 20:59
@piggy

if you have nothing worth saying, please keep it zipped!

this is a brand spanking new modem (i bought it shrinkwrapped, all brand new, so IT SHOULD work straight out the box..

And for your information, I have actually been on the phone to Belkin, and they say that there are no issues for my particular modem, we even went through all the settings and they confirmed that none of the settings are affecting it.

Try the following

log onto the belkin webpage http://192.168.2.1

from the menu on the left hand side select DNS

untick the option automatic from ISP and in the box "DNS adress" type 4.2.2.1 and "secondary DNS adress" 4.2.2.2
press apply changes and test.

if the problem does occur again , please post your log files

modem or router as you cannot buy a modem

should work but dont forget that isnt always the case and piggy does have sort of a point, if it worked before but a new router causes problems then it does indicate the router is at fault

Sorry, I was so into the typing, I forgot to proof-read it before I submitted!
You are right, I did mean a brand new router!
I got it from Maplin at the weekend as I no longer had a router, and had trailing wires all over the house, no body was impressed!


And a little bit of an update:

So far (touch wood) there has been no more problems with the router, a few days ago I did have to reboot the modem, as the Modem & Internet lights turned orange on the router, unplugged them both, I waited a good 5 mins, then plugged in the modem, waited for it to lock on, then the router, and as I have said, no probs so far!

Could it just have been the router "getting settled" or something like that?

Anyway thanks for your suggestions, even if I'd tried them before, and I hope this will stay working perfectly so I can build up an N network :)

A stranger thing is now happening, I have got uTorrent open, but not downloading full speed (only 60KB/s max) and pages are taking a huge amount of time to fix, I have changed over to OpenDNS, could this be a cause?

03-07-2008, 12:54
what is the signal strength like?

Angry@VMedia
03-07-2008, 12:59
Signal strength is the full 5 bars, have been keeping an eye on it, I have it open while I am at my computer so I can check it and its full signal, doesn't even deviate to 4 bars, then again, the router is only about 10 foot max away from the computer!

I have just checked on the other PC downstairs, this is also a full 5 bar signal, strange!!

ok, sounds like an identical problem I had with my SMC item. Oddly I think SMC are using a Belkin interior... shows up as both SMC and Belkin on my network devices ... flashing the firmware did not improve things for me either

You HAD?
If you don't mind me asking you, what did you do to fix it, or did you just give up and take the modem back?

So far, so good! I think that changing over to OpenDNS worked, as I have had no other problems since switching!

well with mine the problem of failing DHCP leases only rears it's head when I start to use the connection heavily so I am sort of just living with it, waiting for a netgear item to be delivered.

OpenDNS didn't help unfortunately which was a bit of a bugger as I realise it has helped others :o)

Ah right!
Well I also haven't been using my connection heavy for a few days, but I shall try that and see if it happens again!
Thanks for that dude :)

Just a bit of an update:
I have logged into the router, and it keeps defaulting to Automatic from ISP, even though I take the tick out of the box, no matter what I put into the DNS boxes, click on apply, then I go back to it and the bloody thing is ticked to Automatic DNS from ISP, this is getting on my nearves now!!

New problem update:
The PC that I am using in my room randomly looses its connection, while other PC's on the network stay connected, I have just opened the security log on the router and found this entry that logs when my connection goes:

07/04/2008 00:33:15 192.168.x.x login success
07/04/2008 00:33:28 User from 192.168.x.x timed out
07/04/2008 00:32:58 sending ACK to 192.168.x.x

I was browsing this forum when it happened, can anyone tell me why this happens only on my machine, but the other 2 PC's stay connected?

07/07/2008 08:33:39 sending ACK to 192.168.2.4

Now the problem is, the PC downstairs has none of these problems, the IP above (192.168.2.4) is the IP that the Wii has (yes it was left on all night) but when the PC I am connected to at the moment is on, it keeps sending ACK's to 192.168.2.3 (this pc)

So why is this happening and how do I stop it?
I have looked through the router setup, but cannot find anything to change to stop the router keep sending these ACk's to the IP addresses, and it is this, when I am using the connection (for downloading) that my connection goes, as there aint any bandwidth for these ACK's to go through, so PLEASE, PLEASE help me with this stupid router before I take the hammer to it!

Does you router send the ACKs when your Wii is removed from the network (and everything powered down and rebooted in sequence)?

Anybody else noticed the increasing frequency of problems reported by users with Belkin routers?

Hi!
Yes the router keeps sending ACKs with the Wii off, but to the PC I am using at the moment (192.168.2.3) whereas the PC downstairs (192.168.2.2) is perfect, does the job lovely, only sends an ACK when it first connects to the router, then it dont bother!

I feel the problem is the router, as it keeps sending this stuff to the last IP address it finds, but not to the first free IP address (192.168.2.2)

Do you think it would be any good to change the IP range (as with previous routers they handed out 192.168.1.x IP addresses) would this work?

If I cannot get it working tonight, I will phone up Belkin in the morning and then see what they say.

I would take it back, but I bought it from Maplin, and I had to take a graphics card back a while ago (different story lol) and they looked at me suspisiously then, like I had done something wrong, and I dont like taking stuff back and make me feel like a criminal.

Years ago (back in 2005) I bought a Belkin wireless router & wireless card, nothing but problem after problem with it, so in the end i had to take it all back, then got a Linksys and all was sweet.
Another thing is, I am on a tight budget for PC equipment, and although this belkin wasnt cheap (£69.99) I cant go over that amount, but NEED the new N range wireless equipment!

Hey there ruddock08!
Yeah this was the first thing I did once the problem occured, then when that didnt work, I put the original firmware back on, still problems lol!

Ok I would really appreciate that when you get home from work and I would like to thank you in advance, because if this problem can be fixed, you will be saving my sanity :)

hey, sorry i didntpost last night, was knackered.
i know tis router doesnt particularly like my ps3, it connects and works very slwoly, then drops out. i did try the netgear router which, although the crap setup cd, worked very well and knocked 5 ms off my ping but did not like my network hub.
don't put the roiginal firmware on, keep up to the most recent as possible, the original firmware has bugs to do with DNS and besdies, its nice to keep updated ;)

what version of firmware are you using? i tried to do v4 but it says it was the wrong version and file, will need to ring belkin to get it sorted. try going up to v3 firmware and rpeort back fi your still having problems?

---------- Post added at 07:29 ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 ----------

ahh,, just read taht you have v3 firmware. uTorrent might only go up to 60kbps because of seeds/peers and stuff, im on 20 mb and sometime si only say 10 kbps :O the only thing i can suggest is giving belkin a ring and asking. i will print this off and go into work with it today and ask some of the toher techies, cos this is absolutely baffling!

Angry@VMedia
08-07-2008, 21:28
Hey there!
Did anyone at your work manage to shed some light on the router?
actually, on this belkin router using uTorrent I can max out my upload speed, sometimes going upto 109KB/s but mostly sitting around the 90KB/s range!

I called up Belkin "Technical Support" today, OMG what a bunch of garbage! sorta reminded me of something else.... Ah yes, VM's own "Tech Support"
Whereby the stupid agent, after me telling him the problem for the NINTH time, told me to connect to the router via ethernet cable from my PC and set the wireless channel to 11 assuring me "this will 100% solve your problems" WRONG!!! I am STILL getting the same problems, AND I now see that every so often that I lose internet connection for split seconds, as indicated by the Belkin router page, top right saying No Connection in red, then connected in blue, and every single time it asks the cable modem for a new lease, I am so fed up with these morons I am going to take the router back to Maplin, with FULL printouts of the logs (after resetting router to defaults) and demaning a FULL refund, then there is the hard task of finding another N router that is NOT belkin!

I am so damn close to smashing the blasted thing up, but then I would've lost £70 and that aint good!

EDIT:
Just checked the firewall log and I have seen these worrying entries (Partner was just on YouTube & bebo at the time)

Cant attatch files now with the new forum update, so will have to paste it in:

I'm guessing that you've got something running that's set to use port 30968 but your firewall isn't allowing the connection?

Tried a netstat -b ?

It wasn't on my machine, but my partners laptop, which she has the same stuff as me, just internet security, email client & msn.

At the time I was out of the house, but got back and I saw that in the logs.
I have tried a visual route on all of them incoming IP addresses, most of them was from brazil, with a really high ping, and they were incoming not outgoing, more than likely some little scrote trying to hack into my network somewhere

Yerbutt, aren't they likely to be related to the outgoing UDP floods heading for weird ports on various IPs?
I've never noticed much UDP traffic in my router or software firewall logs but I'd suspect something on my machine.

But then I'm paranoid!

everyone at my work was slightly baffled, i showed them the screenshots and they said it should all be set-up correctly. i'ms orry to hear that you are returning it, although lots of people say belkin aren't good (and you have proven that) i have found them to be reliable and speedy in my cas.e good luck with your nxt n router (would recommend netgear's n range ;))

The thing is, my partner was the only one that had a pc on that was using the internet and all she was doing was browsing YouTube & tarting up her Bebo profile, surely none of that involves strange IP addresses trying to break into my network though?? :confused:

Hey! just a quick update while I'm cooking my tea (god I love wireless - at times lol!)

Called up Belkin "Tech support" AGAIN today as the router keeps trying to renew Cable modem's IP address(80.xx.xx.xx) AGAIN every few minutes, the stupid guy that was obvoulsy a previous VM TS agent seemed to want to blame 1 of my desktop PC's even although it wasn't even switched on at the time, I put him straight right off the bat saying it was definately a prob with router, then procedes to tell me I need to download & install the "latest" firmware, when I tells him I already have this, he assures me there is a newer version recently, but to humor him I follow his instructions to the firmware downloads page, lo & behold, tis the EXACT same version of firmware I already have on my router (v 3.01.18) to this he once again tries to convince me it is my PC that is the problem where I ask him if there are any jobs going for "knowledgeable technical support" to this he ummed & arred a bit, not really understanding (guess he had a humour by-pass as well as his brains sucked out) so I just retorted by saying that if he didnt know what he was going on about that could he please pass me onto someone that knew what they was talking about, as I was not going to waste my time & money on the phone to an imbassile, to this he quoted me a reference number and told me that somebody higher up would be in contact with me soon to discuss this issue and to replace the router, and I ended the call by saying if it wasn't sorted out by the end of the week not to bother as I was taking the blasted thing back where I bought it for a FULL refund and I would buy a router that WASN'T Belkin!!!

I had connectivity problems back in 2005 with belkin networking equipment! More fool me for thinking that they had finally got their act together (hints of a STRONG link with VirginMedia here, oh the irony!!!)

So I am left waiting for them to scratch themselves whil I await a letter from VM advising me that my router is causing network problems, oh the joy of it all!

Forget the UDP floods trying to get *in* to your network for a moment and look at the UDP floods attempting to get *out*!

That suggests to me that either something legit on that pc is doing something rather unusual or there was something not-so-legit running.

Now add back in the information about inbound UDP floods and, if you were paranoid like me, you'd be suspecting that your partner's pc could do with a severe virus/bot check. And a close inspection to see if it happens again when next connected online.

(I'm no security geek so all this could just be my paranoia.)

Hasn't there been a load of issues with certain Belkin Routers on VM for ages?

They keep making a shed load of DHCP requests with the DHCP chaps must really love:D

Have you tried the VM support newsgroups to see if those guys know of a fix?

I have called them up and spoken to a number of people about this over the last few days, they are rightly saying that it is Belkin that need to deal with it, as this only happens with my belkin wireless router!

Trouble is, calling up Belkin TS is just like calling VM's TS in India, they either dont understand what you are saying OR, because they are being paid a pittance for their time, they dont really care!

I have been told lots of bull from Belkin ranging from "oh its because your wireless channel isn't set to 11" - bull as it was set to this before, but there are a handfull of wireless routers around my area using channel 11, so I changed it to see if it would help! Other excuses were that there was something wrong with my PC - again bull as it STILL happens when all the computers are switched off and the wireless on the router is disabled, so how can it be any of my computers?

When I called up last night, I was assured there was a newer firmware for the router, even although I told him I already had the latest firmware, he told me there was a NEWER firmware availible, so to humour him I went through the process of going to the firmware update page, guess what, yep I already got the latest firmware!!! shock horror!!!

So I am just about to call them again for the FOURTH time this week and see what they intend to do about it.
The problem I now face is I cannot find the reciept anywhere, and I have literally pulled my room apart looking for it, so I cannot take it back to get a refund or anything, so I am holding onto the hope that IF and WHEN they send a replacement, then it'll work, but Im certainly not going to hold my breath on that one!

If it's on your partner's laptop, and she's running MSN, get her to turn MSN off (right-click on the icon in the toolbar and select 'Exit' - I think).

It could be that MSN is sending out UDP packets to establish whether or not her contacts are online.....

That would be an idea, apart from I am on msn all the time talking to people, and it never happens when I am on it, and I know nothing is setup differently as I set the laptop up, it was mine first, then I gave it to her when I got a new pc, so a re-format & install of everything, and apart from the sign-in details & her email client accounts, the settings are exactly the same as mine!

Oh well, as soon as I find the reciept this piece of junk is going back as I have reached the end of my teather with the stupid thing!

From tomorrow, my house will be a Belkin free zone!

I would say it is Belkin's fault!

I have ripped my room apart trying to find the reciept so I can take it back, but cannot find it, so cant take it back, I explained this to them(Belkin TS) and they admitted it sounds like a faulty router, but they wont send a replacement, just told me to take it back to where I got it! Hello, earth calling India, if I dont have the reciept then I CANNOT take it back!! I explained to them that if they have admitted its a faulty router, then they HAVE to replace it, as I have registered it and it is still under warrenty!!

you mention 3.01.17 not 3.01.18 which is beta and might cure your problem.
