[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1083420, member: 369937"] OK, the customer uses it as a router, it is inside in an equipment closet along with the ISP modem, and it does it without anything connected to it, nothing but the AC to DC wall dongle, and I have tried several power supplies, also ran an extension cord to a different side of the AC power phase in another room, it still does it. The LAN system does work fine with my old Netgear router, so what I did was run a CAT5 to the room where it does not reset and connected it to the WAN port of the problem routers, they both I work fine in a room several feet away. So I did an RF sweep of the equipment room, nothing was found that could overpower a router, I then turned off all AC power to that room, ran an extension cord to the room where it worked and the router will work until you connect a LAN cable to it, so as a test I then tried a short CAT 5 connected to the router without anything attached to it, it will start resetting. So why would two of the same type routers work in one room at the same location but not another, and why would a very old router (5 years) from a different manufacture work fine at the problem location????? If I setup the router in another room and connect it to my laptop it and the older router work flawlessly. Is there some sort of malware that can affect one type of router but not another?? The routers in question are from Ampedwireless, I have been online several times with their tech support, they are as puzzled as I am. The older Amped router worked flawlessly at that location for about a year, the new one is only a few days out of the box, what is happening I don't know. Does anyone know of some type of software that would analize the LAN system to see what may be going on? Scratching my old brain on this one..Terry [/QUOTE]
