Re: [Line Problem] Cordless phone reboots my router!
No, I'm not losing just the wireless. The entire router reboots. I watch the NICs on my wired systems, and they restart as well. The whole unit effectively power-cycles itself -- it's bizarre. |

San Jose, CA | Again, this has nothing to do with your phone line. And no offense, but I haven't found DLink products to be the most reliable pieces of equipment so that's where I'd start looking. |

Los Angeles, CA | See, if this was a problem with a brand new piece of gear, I would too; but it would be an amazing coincidence if the D-Link went on the fritz simultaneously with the phone being repaired when it worked beautifully before. |

| Not to single you out specifically, but I see this type of statement a lot around here....that such and such [insert piece of equipment here] has been working fine or my DSL has been bulletproof for 37 yrs so how can it now be giving problems.
Things change! Things break! Things degrade!
Now that I realize that your router is actually completely resetting itself, that's more of a power issue. Forget about the different frequencies or channels, those shouldn't make the router do a reset. You said that when the cordless phone disconnected everything works fine. Is that with the phone line disconnected, or with the power to the cordless base station unplugged? |

| Hey Tony,
I work with this kind of gear on a daily basis, so I am painfully aware of how things break ... 
Anyway ...
So I ran one more test with the cordless disconnected from the phone line, and it killed the router yet again, so it looks like I'm in the market for a new phone.
I'm still rather mystified what would cause such an abrupt change in such a short period of time when things were stable and worked well until then ... I guess the timing of the phone repair is simply coincidental. Weird. |
