What about just connecting to the router's web based admin control panel and disconnecting and reconnecting manually instead? I have to do this at the moment every so often ever since I did a bit of reconfiguration of my D-Link wireless router connected to a UTV Creative Blaster. Usually when I power on the gear first the laptop can't connect to the internet and the diagnostic check stops at the internet link test. Only by disconnecting and reconnecting manually do things work again. Haven't been able to get to the bottom of the problem and it may well be different to your problem.I have UTV Clicksilver broadband. I'm using their Creative Blaster modem with a Belkin wireless router and network card.
It seems that every day (or most days) the connection 'fails', either at startup or mid-session. This is 'fixed' by rebooting the modem/router (plugging out the socket board they use and then plugging it in again).
I have had exactly the same problem with UTV. First occurred last Thursday but has also occurred on Saturday and Sunday. Each time I've got on to UTV technical support and each time they've basically got me to reset the router. Very frustrating-one minute the broadband is working perfectly the next minute you get the 'page failed' message when you try to access a particular website. Strangely though all the router lights that should be on are on even when the system is down.
The solution is to go through Advanced Setup / Internet (access password admin/admin) and then click the Edit icon to the right of the current connection details (it looks like a small pencil). Now click Next on each configuration screen until you get to a page where you choose between Always-On/Dial-on-demand/Manual connect; change it to Always-On, complete the wizard, and the connection should now remain up permanently.
Signed up to always-on BB but it is far from that. If we leave the PC unattended for 15 mins, we have to go looking again for internet access and seem to spend a lot of time "Repairing" the network connection.
Yes; the router is usually on http://192.168.1.1/ or something similar, and you can see the setup options down the left-hand side.Where do I do this? The DSL router's homepage?
