After a problem with my internet and getting the modem swapped out as it wasn't suitable for my 20mb connection, I still had a problem. Turned out my D-Link router had died so I got out my brand new Virging router that I had been given but so far never used.
However the Virgin Netgear router Kept locking up and stopping all access to the internet. The modem worked perfectly when connected to the PC but when attached via the router the connection would drop after a few minutes. A reboot of the modem brought it back to life. Even doing nothing for a few minutes, the router would come back to life. Whilst it wouldn't work for internet it worked fine to transfer files between network pcs.
I tried my own Netgear router and exactly the same problem. I have since bought a Linksys router and no problems whatsoever. My previous D-Link worked perfectly too.
However I am intrigued as to why the Virgin router would not work. Am I entitled to a replacement? Will it have the same problem?
