Right to start I have been a British Telecom customer for quite a few years now and have never had this sort of problem before. At the start of the new year my internet became well not its self so to speak, I would turn on my pc as I would normally do and wait for the internet to boot up so I could ofcourse use the internet like I do everyother day. I noticed that after a while the internet took longer and longer to connect to the point that today it took me over 8 Hours to connect.
Here is a order of how the router goes when it trys to connect.
1) Power light comes on.
2) Eathernet socket 1 2 3 4 lights up along with the wWireless, DSL and Internet icon.
3) The router turns all the lights off and the power light comes back on.
4) Then Eathernet socket 2 ( Because thats the socket that the cable is plugged into ).
5) The internet light comes on.
6) Several hours later or could even be 30 minuites later all the icons needed light up and internet works fine.
If its any use of knowing:
* I have a Dynamnic Ip address.
* I have a Netgear Wireless ADSL2 router
* I connect to the internet through the yellow ethernet cable being plugged into my pc
* Some of you will laugh about what speed my internet is but I have 0.51Mbps Download speed and 0.24Mbps Upload speed
It repeats the stages 3 + 4 + 5 untill it is finally connected. If anyone knows of any problems or solutions that could possibly help my situation please email me at: Shortz360@hotmail.co.uk
Thanks.
