colore Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 hellothere is a strange thing that happens the last days:my modem/router resets itself (it does like the power supply is stopped and then immediately restarted)this happens with a router that has its own power supply and is connected via usb to the pc, also it happens with a modem I tried, that it has no power supply (it takes it from the pc via usb)I really can't figure out why this happens, is it a virus? is there an option in XP to stop modem/router from working in order to preserve power ? (I use laptop)any ideas?thanks
kingsc Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Well... you could try going into device manager, opening the properties for that device, and see if it has a Power Management tab. If it does, select it and disable the ability to power the device off to save power. Other then that, I'm not sure, sorry.
uid0 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Reset as in reconnects, or loses all settings?If it's the former then that could be your ISP, or the line quality.Or it could be power cuts, assuming you're not using a UPS?
