Router problems
« on: 21 April 2007, 22:28:05 »
My Voyager 210 ADSL Router has started playing up. Recently I've been getting the "You have unplugged a device warning" and when I look at the router, the power light has gone red and the DSL & USB lights are flashing. It seems to reset itself. In fact it just went off while I was here on the forum and it has regained the connection without my help and I am still on here.

So, all you geeks out there ;), where's the fault, then?

LOL. Voyager 200 series. 'Nuf said.

Are you using it on Ethernet, or on USB?

Hi TB,

USB on a single PC.

It came free from madasafish and has worked faultlessly (until recently, that is).

Switch to Ethernet, more reliable than USB.....

Yep, Bo Bo, it's on 24/7 so maybe I'll try switching it off now and again as you suggest.  :y

As Tunnie said, ethernet is more reliable.

Not trying to use p2p through this router are you?

OK, just p2p type apps cause this router to fail as it cannot maintain the number of connections....  ...something to remember if ever you do ;)
