Re: Actiontec wifi loses connectivity.... I've got 3 watch cats & they are always "on duty" too -- except when they're napping, of course 
VZ MAY drop ship you a router, but will probably troubleshoot with you and ask:
-does the loss of connectivity happen with a wired connection as well?
-what router light indications do you see when the problem manifests itself?
-have you rebooted the router?
-what phase of the moon does this most often occur in?
-ad nauseum
-they may have you do a factory reset of the router (pen/paperclip in button on back of router)
***You probably are way ahead of me on this, but if you do a factory reset, the router will revert back to the default admin/password login, dump any user configured settings (WPA,SSID, etc) & revert back to the default WEP key
Interesting to see what can be discovered with this one.... |

Northport, NY | Roger on the napping, which in the case of our watch cat, is most of the day.
Wired connectivity never fails.
Router light indications are normal.
Rebooted several times, the last of which was 2 nights ago when we had a 5 hour power outage (got a new WAN IP of of that).
Haven't correlated to the phase of the moon....yet. I'm looking at that.
I've done a factory reset. It didn't seem to make any difference, except for having to restore all of my settings.
I don't have time right now to go through all this again with tech support on the phone. Maybe in the next week or 3. |
