    It's on the same power strip, but I haven't had the problem up until a few weeks ago. I haven't added any software recently other than Microsoft updates.

  • kbhpla Nov 29, 2009

    This didn't help. Still loosing connection.

  • kbhpla Nov 29, 2009

    Sorry, I forgot to mention it is an ethernet direct connection.

Sometimes the modem will kick off line, from a power glitch. I recommend you isolate the printer from that modem power strip and see how that works.

ADAPTER not working

Check the distance bet computer and the Router.
Donot keep your router near television, microwaveoven or any radio active devces, it may reduce the performance.
Check the Antena terminals for any loose connections.
If possible check your wireless signal strength with another Laptop, to diagnose the router is working fine.
If everything seems to be fine, it maybe the issue with the Adapter.

NEtgear RP614 cannot connect after a electricity shortage in our home :(

Reset the router to factory default. Usually done by unplugging the router hold in the reset button and plug in the router wait 30 sec. release reset button Wait 30 more sec. and unplug router again. Then reset your computer to obtain ip address automatically in network properties. Next shut down your computer, router and modem. First re-power the modem, give it time to boot (about 2 to 3 Min. for Cable and dsl or 7 to 10 min for satellite), next re-power the router, again give it time to acquire it's info (about 2 min.) then start your computer and try to access the Internet, all should be well...

Good luck, and have a great day...

The internet connection keeps disappearing.

Change the router's IP address to (192.168.10.1) maybe you have an IP conflict between the modem and router.

Wireless problems

Hi there,

Here in Denmark, lots of people are well tired of this router.
It often loose internet connection, but a hard-reset fix the problem most times.
Maybe you just have to unplug the power for a few seconds and then plug it back in, - wait for a minute or two until all the lights are on.
If this doesn’t work, please respond, and well find another solution.
