    My router has to be reset everyday since I moved. I am using a laptop with a 3 com card to pick it up (thinkpad PIII, XP home). Is there a way to prevent this or should I get a new router? I have updated the firmware, and a new one probably is not available, but I will check.confused

    edit: I reboot the router by pulling the power cord from the back. I am also using charter internet and cable modem.

    BEFW11S4 this is one of the oldest Routers on the market, might be that it is telling you that it is time for a new one. ;)

    Yeah, I might need a new one. I could buy a device that will cut the power off and on, then I don't have to run upstairs on a daily basis :D

    I've been googling, and this appears to be a flaw with this device. I only paid $20 for it though, a good wile ago.
