Michael, correct me if I'm wrong on that.
Yes, my PC is indeed hardwired to the the Actiontec, with WNDR4500 being the "middle man". Hope this answers the question once and for all. ok thank you. I missed it. | |

That's it. There are no more hardwired connections to any other PC's. All other connections are WiFi, and when my issue starts, the PC and any other wifi devices have the same problem.
Just to cover all the other basis:
At no time do I have any problems with either of the two STB boxes connected via Coax.
Nothing else is connected into the Actiontec and the only other physical connections into the WNDR4500 are:
1) LAN Printer
2) Ethernet cable that goes from the WNDR4500 into the PC.
What has me going crazy is that this works for at least 48 hours guranteed, and then afterwards, that's where the problems starts maybe 50 or 55 hours into it.
I think hat we can rule out a "bad cable", as I cannot imagine it working for 2 days and then getting tired. Also, the same ONT worked perfectly, without any issues for 18 months while I had a Inetrnet/phone only service. Albeit, I I had a direct connection from the ONT to the WNDR3700. I gave up on it as it was giving me issues in AP only mode.
Someone also said something about "maybe NAT" ports get overloaded? But then I read elsewhere that the Rev. I doesm't have that problem...
gulp...
ok MAYBE after all these years helping other people I have got a case of "misunderstanding" going on
ONT > Actiontec (via Enternet / WAN port) > WNDR4500 (via Ethernet / LAN port) > PC (via Ethernet / LAN port).
this paragraph above suggest to me that the last item > PC via ethernet is getting a WIRE from the 4500. if this is true PLEASE hook up that wire to the Actiontec NOT the 4500 use the 4500 ONLY for wireless. then come back and tell us after a week if the computer that is on a wire to the Actiontec is still having problems.
then we can figure out if the problem is with the EDGE router a.k.a the Actiontec OR with the internal router that is ONLY feeding wireless clients
sorry if I sound condescending. NOT MEANT TO BE.
beside doing the above, you could set up a different SSID(act) on the Actiontec on say channel 1,
and a second SSID on the 4500 say (4500) on channel 6
and then put one client wireless machine to ONLY log automatically to one router
and a second wireless machine to log into the second router ONLY and see which one dies
this way you could tell if wired machines on the ACTIONTEC dies as well as wireless machines on same Actiontec VERSUS wireless machines on the 4500
as far as the STB"S working , well I hate to say something nice about Verizon , well maybe it's more the MOCA people and the router people, but the STB's are getting their tv content on another whole network that has nothing to do with what you are seeing. the ONLY thing the STB use the "normal ethernet" network that you use your computer on is to do channel guide updates and to get VOD movies
and when the main Actiontec is broken this is a EASY way to see if it's the Actiontec or the 4500 just push that VOD button , if the screen responds right up, the Actiontec is just fine and dandy and your 4500 is the culprit.
and since I have a broken down DIR-655 that I gave to my youngest son I can tell you my money is on DLINK being broken.
and yet every 3 months I get the urge to buy a DIR-825 because of that working IPV 6 wich they quickly have broken several times now with updates. BTW they had a huge problem with the internal DNS and DHCP servers acting up and people were pissed! you may want to go to their forums
»forums.dlink.com/index.php?PHPSE···rd=144.0
and take a read about, you may find answers with a new firmware but BEWARE as they can't be downgraded , well the fir-655 can now that it has been hacked so it can be brought down to the frist 2 firmwares that actually worked ok. not sure about your though | |
