Have To Keep Re-booting My Router

(1/3) > >>

markpeterjameslegg:
As the title says, it's been getting worse and worse, it was every now and then, and now I find myself doing it 4-5 times a day. Can't find a solution online, seems a lot of Talk Talk customers are having this issue but guess what? Yes... you can't get hold of them. I'm guessing it's something to do with Talk Talk, but maybe not, I don't know what to do. Does anyone else have this problem with Talk Talk recently?

I had the same problem with a different router years ago. Solution was buy a new router, as apparently they sometimes just cripple up and need constant resuscitation.
(Or at least ours did.)

Kratos:
What brand/model is the router?

What your experiencing to me is mostly likely a hardware problem, probably overheating issues. Touch the top of the router, does it feel really hot? If its warm, its normal.

Did the router come with the package when you ordered the internet? Ask them for a replacement. If the company didn't provide the router, and it is yours, pick up a Linksys brand from like Newegg.com

Let us know.

Thanks and good luck.

The router is a "Huawei Echolife HG521"

Ah, looks like Talk Talk probably issued you that router... I would contact your ISP and tell them I need to replace my router/modem.

You could pick up online, but if they can lend you something better or a similar, you can go for that too.

To me appears that many people are having issues with that brand/model you gave me. It's just some cheap company perhaps.

See if you are able to replace it at no expense.
