connection flickering

Hi

I have a Linksys WAG54G, hardwired into two PCs. Since yesterday the LEDs
for the Ethernet connections keep flickering on and off, and on the PCs
themselves, messages keep flicking up - one that "a network cable is
unplugged" , followed almost instantaneously by another one saying "Local
Area Connection is now connected".

I've tried rebooting the router and changing the cable, but I guess the fact
that it's happening on both connections rules the cables out anyway.

Is this an indication that my modem/router is giving in?

Thanks

I'd say yes - but prett weirdly that's exactly what happened to mine
yesterday too...

That seems a pretty weird coincidence to me!

I've just returned one to Linksys as the ethernet cable connection had
failed, wireless was ok.
There's a 3 year manufactures warrantee on them, they've emailed to say that
a wag54g is no longer available so they will be replacing it with the
current model.
If you still have a till receipt and is in warrantee contact ...... Linksys

Could be from the same production run, or use a
short life component.
I've met LSI that consistently fail, also reed relays,
some printers had electrolytics that leaked (and
a right mess they made of the PCB's),
opto-couplers and triacs can go south.
It's not weird at all.

That's how mine started, too. Wireless was OK, but cable eventually gave
out.

Must check for receipt!

Further to mine giving up in the same way, check this post:

I haven't tried this yet, as I've put a temporary one in place but might be
worth a go in the interim...
