Juat to make sure you are putting the correct settings in Here are the official settings

If they are the settings your using then try changing the MTU to 1400

There's no harm in trying OpenDNS's DNS servers which are:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Make sure you have protection on your wireless, someone else could be using up all your bandwidth making it seem like the router needs restarting, you want to be using WPA/WPA2 security and not WEP or nothing.

I dont mean to patronize but again things like the cables and filters can go bad, also make sure you have the filters set up correctly


It does sound like the routers on it's way out though Talk Talk should provide you with one of theirs for free or very little

Well I feel a bit lucky then, I bought the model below that as I didn't want to spend the extra money and it's brilliant! Not helpful I know sorry!

I have had it 8 months and have to reboot it at least 5 times a day. i thought it was my ISP - but no. I have reset it, started again more times than I care to remember, use only one laptop with it, searched for firmware upgrades - none available. Never had an issue with my previous netgear router until the dog killed it!

I have the same problem with the belkin G router - constantly having to reboot it - I know its a cheap model but it aint worth the money.
Pile of s***.

I'm wil TalkTalk too, but I got the Netgear DG834v3.

I had something similar when I have two PCs attached to my Netgear router. Think it was having the UPnP checked; when I unchecked problem has gone away.

Have you tried +44 (0)1933 35 2000? This is their switchboard number on their website.

It's actually illegal for them not to include an email address in their contact details, has been since January 2007. * goes off to report Belkin UK to the BERR *

Are you sure thats true, they don't sell anything online, the retailer is responsible for any faults.

Why do they have to have an email address doesn't make sense, you can call them use live chat or fill out a claim form which they will reply to.

I had a belkin router it kept losing connection so in the end I bought a linksys one it's never failed yet.
