I have a D-link DSL-2640R router. TalkTalk is my provider.
My desktop ( W7 Ultimate ) Is connected via ethernet cable. And I have various laptops running W7 Home Premium which connect wirelessly except when I do updates, then tey get connected via ethernet cable.
The problem is always around midnight on my desktop showing in the notification area stating I have limited or no internet access, yet my laptops still connect wirelessly withut a problem. I have had a chat with TalkTalk, they went onto my PC remotely, but said they can't see anything ( normally the case, because I think their support is useless )
I have noticed in the past that the WLAN, DSL and Internet LED's fash like mad just before this happens. Could my router be on its way out ?
 
My first thought was Rein, but as the lappys still work then i'm not too sure... Can you try a new router?

REIN ? I have tried a new router they sent me a few months back, but the same. A friend said do a firmware update, but got me tail between me legs on that one. Not sure how.

As you said its always about midnight, thats what made me think Rein, as it could have been something 'turning on' at that time each night. :)


Regarding the FW update, You will need to grab it off the site, Talks Talks i'd assume, maybe d links own. Is the FW TT branded or just the vanilla D Link one?

Then flash if via the web interface of the router. Where the option is i couldn't tell you!

Google dont come up with much, you sure thats the correct model? Its not the 2640 is it?
