My LAN keeps on disconnecting/connecting when I connect to a router but not when I connect wirelessly?

Question

Here's the situation:

Because my ZTE ZXV10 W300 WiFi router (from BayanDSL) has short wireless signal, I have to use a CNET CBR-980 router as a switch to extend the signal. However, I connect to the router via LAN cable in my room (where the router is).

Everything's been fine until yesterday, when I noticed that the network icon on my taskbar keeps on switching on and off (between the monitor icon and a no connection icon), indicating that it keeps on getting disconnected.

At first I thought it was a problem with the internet source itself, but when I connected to the switch (CNET) via wi-fi, it works perfectly fine. I've also tried disabling the switch and directly connecting my DSL to my computer, and it works fine too.

I've tried other LAN cables, as well as updated and reinstalled my LAN drivers, but it's still there. I've also scanned for viruses and malware.

What's so weird is that I've not changed any settings on my router. And it's only happening now.

Is there somehow a possible conflict in the settings? If so, what? How do I resolve this?

Answer 1

Let's collect some info. Give me 3 ipconfig listings:

1. Cabled to Router-1's LAN port

2. Cabled to Router-2's LAN port

3. Wi-Fi-connected to Router-2



Post those and we'll go from there!



**On the off-chance you've never done an ipconfig, hit Start, type CMD, and hit Enter. In the new CMD window, type ipconfig /all



Copy the listing and create a new txt file on your desktop. Open that file and paste you first ipconfig listing in it. Save the file so that it's not accidentally erased. Now connect to your network a different way and produce another ipconfig /all listing. Copy that listing and paste it into your text file, below the first listing. Do the third one the same way and paste it below the first two. Since you only need to post the adapter section that was actually connected (for example, if you use an Ethernet cable to connect to your router you don't need to include the Wi-Fi sections present in that same listing). Once you've got the 3 listings how you want them, copy the contents and post it in your Additional Details section.

Answer 2

NEVER use more than one router on a connection, it can cause serious problems and even conflicts that stop the connection. And just slight change elsewhere in the network can do that. If you have wired from the main router to your room you should be using a wireless access point, NOT a router. Otherwise you might be better off using a wireless range extender between your router and your machine but within easy wireless range of both.
