Belkin Wireless Router Connection Problems/Hanging/Freezing

Hi,

I have a problem with my Belkin Wireless Router (f5d7632uk4), and am hoping
someone out there can help me. It slows down to a halt daily, to a point
that I cant even connect to it via ethernet until I unplug it and start all
over.

I have read this is something to do with the security log growing too big,
but it only ever shows 30 lines of the log, and clearing it doesn't help.
(It's exactly the same problem as this guy is having:
http://forums.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/f...?TID=3198&PN=1)

I don't believe it is a security problem - it is simply that the security
log on the router fills up to a point (where it is preventing access
correctly) that its too large and takes up all the memory of the thing.

Any other ideas? It's definitely a problem with the router - even if there
is some 'security problem' going on, I rather the router doesn't just stop.
I've got everything covered to my satisfaction security-wise.

Cheers,
Andy

You should get on the phone with Belkin about the problem with the router.

Dump Belkin and get Linksys or Netgear if you have the money. Belkin gave
it the old college try in the wireless industry but they are unable to make
effective products. I use linksys WRT54G router and WPC54G ver 2 on my
notebook. I have never had problems

It could be a number of things. You might be at the edge of the router's
coverage. Also someone might be hijacking your connection and using your
bandwidth almost to the point where it stops. You need to secure your router
to prevent this from happening. You can visit my blog to find out how to
secure your router:

Finally, call belkin, I have a friend who had a belkin router and he
couldn't get it to connect at all. One call to Belkin and his problems went
away

hope this helps!

I went through three in 5 months - all the same problem. Eventually
after the third I got so pissed off that I got a refund and bought a
Netgear.

I don't care about your problems.

Do you have a bad temper?

No, seems like quite a bit of patience, having tried more than 2 units
