Router problems



  Motorbikes
Hi folks

Having some router worries the now. I have a netgear something or other, provided free by my IP (utility warehouse 8mb), after the previous one literally blew up first time I tunred it on.

Sometimes, usually when I'm on the xbox, the internet will disconnect, sign me out of Live and internet on my laptop and on my dads PC. It can do this several times and at intervals of every few minutes and requires to be reset or takes a few minutes to clear the fault itself, althogh my laptop always seems to remain connected to the router, just not on the internet. Is this firmware problems from reguarly being powered down? I dont belive my IP would be providing such a poor quality service so I'm convinced its not UW, although I havent contact them as yet about this.

If its my router, can you suggest a suitable alternative for not a lot of monies.

Thanks.

I have a feeling it's something to do with UPnP..

I've a DG834GT which slows down hugely when my xbox is turned on..the internet doesn't disconnect, it still holds sync with the exchange but for everything other than the xbox, the internet it basically unusable :(

I'm gonna try turning off UPnP..maybe give it a go too?

Repeat in English please :eek:

Basically my xbox is taking up too much bandwidth or something? If I turn off "UPnP" will it mean I can't access internet, msn etc from laptop or PC?

Sometimes I don't have problems at all btw..
