I have Cox cable Internet and am having some serious problems with staying connected to the internet. I have a Belkin wireless router running to 2 computers. There are times when it is up and running with no problems and the net runs well. Most of the time however it is not connected. Here is what happens typically ...
either Case A) the modem light blinks next to the "cable" label. It shows connection to the PC and the power is okay, but this light blinks ... I am guessing that means it is having trouble getting a signal from the cable company? Could it be a bad modem sense some times it will connect?
or Case B) The modem is connected fine, but the router has a blinking light on the "connected" lable. The modem shows that it is connected, revieveing a signal from the cable and recieveing data but the router will not connect? Could this be a bad router?
It has me at a loss because there are times when everything works just perfect like it should. I have setup a network between the two computers and that works flawlessly, but getting a signal to the internet has been a problem. It is always one of the two above that are happening when it wont let me on the net. Can someone please help me!
