Re: Router resets evrytime I try to use it

I'd swap to a different router.    It looks like others are experiencing the same problem. For example see thread http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,99855.0.html

Re: Router resets evrytime I try to use it

Ah ha ... I had this exact problem over Christmas ... then not again until two days ago. Finally noted the common cause:
1: All wireless devices (bar one) work ... including various apple devices (which thomson router had issues with)
2: My lenovo w520 works on a wired connection
3:  My lenovo w520 works on a wireless connection , while connected to the mains
4: My lenovo w520 on a wireless connection ,  running on battery, causes the thomson router to reboot within 30 seconds of starting to use it.

This is clearly a router bug. If there was a 'legal way' a laptop could cause any router to reboot , image what would happen if you
took one into the office.
Product Name: TG585 v8
Serial Number: xxxxxxxx <elided>
Software Release: 8.2.7.8

Re: Router resets evrytime I try to use it

I have a lenovo t510 which would reboot my 3com router constantly. Turned out to be the ip helper service that was running In windows 7. Disabling I fixed it completely.

So A T510 ... I betting it's the "Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 "  version (or 6300)
