    hi!

    we have finally bought a router but we only got problems with it.. sometimes the internet is suddenly not functioning anymore, so we have to restart the router and today we even have to unplug the adapters of the modem and router.. and if two ppl use the internet, sometimes one person got no internet or noone got internet..

    is there any settings that can solve that problem?
    the router is a belkin one, the cheapest.. we paid €40.. maybe its because of that that we have these problems? or what could be the reason..

    any help would be appreciated!

    Update to the newest firmware/drivers both for wireless card and router ASAP.And although I've never had problems with Belkin routers alot of people have so that could be the problem.
