I keep having to reset my wireless Internet router? - Marcos Navarro - 04-08-2014 07:44 PM
I have 3 laptops, 2 smartphones, 1 SmartTV, 1 Xbox, 2 3DS's connected to my router.
I have a Frontier Netgear ADSL2+ Modem Router.
For some reason I always have to keep resetting it because it will just say "No Internet Access" on the laptops. I can't troubleshoot the problems, I have to reset the box. It's now a more than twice a day occurrence, and I want to know if anyone knows why? And how to fix this problem?

The laptops only? Are these wired connections or wireless? If only SOME lose it, then your router is sick. Otherwise if all are affected (wired and wireless), then it would seem to be a problem with your phone line. I had a similar problem (the DSL internet light would go out) and I traced it to a corroded connection in the wall socket. DSL is quite sensitive to that sort of thing. A little contact cleaner did the trick and it has never lost the connection since. Does yours have a internet light to indicate it is connected? If so, is it lit when you get the error message? My DSL would not try to reconnect if it lost the DSL line, so I had to do a soft reset (use the reset button or pull the power and re-energize it.) to make it reconnect.
