Piece of s**t Internet. Help!

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

For the last three days my internet keeps crashing. Here's what it says (I'm on my phone so can't screen shot)

 

[DrR]

I see nothing?

 

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

Pow!

 

[Feirny]

It appears to be broken.

​Hope that helps.

have you tried unplugging and plugging back in?

 

[Daz.]

Is it doing it on internet explorer or does work?

Now I know i'm not the smartest tool in the box, but WTF do you mean??

 

[Chi]

If you unplug power to router for 30 seconds and that doesnt fix it, Id get onto your ISP

Means a different browser than Chrome. Although the last part makes no sense lol...

 

[Daz.]

Yep - to be fair I asked the question and even I think that's s**t.

As above first thing to check is if it's a chrome issue or not - check internet explorer, or firefox and see if you have the same issues.

If you're running windows 7 press start button. Type cmd and press enter. Type tracert google.com and post pics

log into you router and do a restart, type your ip usually 198.168.0.1, into your browser

Says it all tbh.

Da fuq d'you jus say???

Press start

type 'NCPA.CPL' and hit enter

Right click wireless network connection

Click properties

Click TCP/IP Protocol v4

Then change the dns servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4


BUT BEFORE YOU DO THAT, Make sure the wireless is switched on on your laptop (icon next to the clock should not have a red cross)

I rang Virginia tonight, they said there's a problem with my router.

They're coming on Monday to sort it.

Getting the experts out is always the best way, you ought to try AOL they do it over the bloody phone.

A lot of ISP lock there hardware to there DNS so if it goes down so does your Internet. Have the same problem with Sky when their DNS goes down I lose all Internet and as it hard wired into the router there is nothing I can do about it.
