router freezing

Hi
I am running Windows XP Home on a Gateway 2.66 machine with 2.75 gigs ram.

My problem is the internet freezes when it wants to. I have to reset my
router and or DSL modem to fix the problem. The red light for no internet
does not come on. All lights look normal.

I run Fire fox and IE 6 for browsers and Bitdefender 9 for anti virus. I
also have ran CC Cleaner, Spyware Doctor, A Squared and Advanced Windows
care V2 professional, so I believe I checked the best I could for Malware
etc. I have also update my routers firmware and my ati radeon graphics card.

My router is a Buffalo WHR-HP G54 and the modem is a Gnet.

I am not sure if it's a Windows problem or what. Any advise appreciated

Thanks in Advance
Rick

Usually it is the router, try just unplugging the router power for a minute
and see it if starts working.

Thanks,
Bruce

Hi Bruce

That only works until the next freeze, which might be a day or a hour, one
never knows. That's the aggravating part of the problem.

I also can not recreate the problem at will, so it makes it difficult to
diagnose.

Thanks

Upgrade the firmware on the router, if that does not fix it get a
replacement. Linksys routers are more prone to lockups than
Buffalo from my experience. I also have had success putting the router and
modem on a battery backup unit not just a surge strip.

Thanks,
Bruce
