Moderators DennisD Posted July 17, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2017 Just a for info which is worth a try for anyone with what appears to be an unsteady internet connection. I struggled with this issue for a few weeks before I thought to try something which I was doubtful would have any effect, but after 3 weeks of a rock steady connection, it turned out to be the fix. Tried all the usual things with my Belkin Wireless Router, including contacting my ISP who assured me my signal was reliable and steady, (I didn't 100% believe them). Kept rebooting the router which is the first thing to try, and tried changing various settings, and then changing them back. In the end the fix was to simply reinstall the saved configuration file I made a few years ago when I first got the router. Simple as that. The change was instant, and the signal hasn't wavered since. I did initially try a different wireless router, but it was a s**t old model supplied by my ISP years ago. It was never any good and couldn't hold a steady connection on a good day. With any luck, this may help someone else. You never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted July 17, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2017 Good catch, likely a corrupted config file from the sounds of it ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators Andavari Posted July 17, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2017 It could always be a number of things. Here was a good explanation in a YouTube video from a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXbidC6q5-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted July 17, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2017 I forgot to mention a big one is when people are in their kitchen, and if their modem/router has a refrigerator in between it and your device(s) that will often cause issues.

Moderators DennisD Posted July 18, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2017 I think it hilarious that "The IT Crowd" always first suggestion for a PC issue of "Have you turned it off and back on again?" actually works with a router.

Moderators nukecad Posted July 18, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2017 LOL Used it in the pub 20 mins ago. Bottle fridge was at 1.8 degrees C and showing "HA" fault. (High temp Alert). Landlady was going to call the brewery engineer. (Expensive call out). Guess what has worked? Now at 0.7 C. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

My ISP recommends to reboot the DSL modem once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
