wireless networking - Constant Limited Access
2014-07
I recently switched ISP's and while I am very happy with the performance I'm getting, I am constantly getting limited access on my connection. I am fairly close to the modem/router and the modem/router isn't close to any phone or any wireless device. If I leave my computer on for the day to download a file, I'll come back several hours later and the file won't be downloaded because I got limited access. It's very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated. My modem/router is a Motorola SURFboard, brand new.
From time to time (twice a day, once a week - hard to tell really), I suddenly get "Limited access" on my internet connection, and I see no obvious reason for this.
It's on a wired network, so no unstable WLAN-issues here
It's not the router nor the modem, everything works fine with my two other computers (both wired and WLAN).
Motherboard with NIC is an Asus Striker Extreme (2x 1000mbit). Tried both. Both have the same problem.
I'm running Windows 7 RC. This never happened when using Vista. Could possibly be some driver not being stable in Win7, but if so - which one? Tried several motherboard driver versions (including NIC-driveres).
Disabling and then enabling the network connection often fixes it. Not always though - sometimes i just have to wait for a few minutes.
No error messages anywhere
Anyone seen this before? I'd really like this fixed, it's damn annoying.
Do you have the Cisco VPN Client installed? That caused me massive problems with my Win7 setup, and something similar to what you describe.
