Router is constantly dying, need fix.

Post by Light Of Darkness »

It's a crappy Bell-issued 2wire router and lately it keeps disconnecting and completely fucking up everything I'm doing.
"THE BELL MODEM CANNOT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET PLEASE RESTART"
It's happened like fifty million times already and it's only like noon over here.
IIRC the model was 2701 HG-G
There WAS a thunderstorm the day before, but strangely my connection was smooth as silk for once.

Just get a new one lol
Most company issued stuff is terrible, especially routers. Modems are really the only quality thing you can get from internet companies for cheap/free.

If it's the modem, just call and complain. My isp gave me a new one after talking (not bitching, believe it or not) on the phone to a guy for like, 10 minutes.

yeah, this is happening to me as well. I think it's my router though. Whenever I troubleshoot the problem it says something about my DNS.

I read somewhere that MPAA made some kind of deal with Comcast, AT&T and some other ISP. If your ISP catches you illegally downloading they can fuck with your internet.

I remember reading about that, WARNING LONG POST INCOMING

You had 3 strikes
You got 1 strike for a copyrighted ANYTHING being on your computer/downloaded because of vague wording
Cached copyrighted image from google images? Strike one
Download an installer with a copyrighted image? lol strike two
Go on Facebook? more strikes than I could count BAM YOU'RE BANNED FROM THE INTERNET

I also vaguely remember hearing about it getting reversed. And that it was a US only thing. (wow that was shorter than I expected)

Anyway, calling Bell tomorrow because it's currently what-the-fuck-did-you-wake-me-up-for o'clock here.
