I'm using a Gnet router which most of you guys wouldn't know much about. But since I installed the new firmware, my internet has been unstable. It stops responding every once a while like 20-30 minutes. It never happened before when i had the old firmware. Is there a way that I can fix it, please

The older firmware came with the router, so I don't think it's available for download. THe reset function on the router didn't get rid of the new firmware. So. please help. really bothering me. i have to reset sometimes every 10 minutes.

I'm pretty sure it's my router problem because I have 3 computers networked together. and once the internet stops responding, the other 2 computers do not work too. so the problem is with the router

Also, test it out..

Unplug all the computer except yours. See if the connection drops..

I have see a few cheap routers that will flod when too many packets are sent to it.

I was using a ADSL service before and it was working great and then I switched to Cable service recently and the internet is working without changing any settings. Maybe do you think i need to change any settings?? I did not change any settings when I switch from ADSL to cable

It wouldn't hurt to see if any old firmware is available. I have a D-link router that they no longer support, yet they did have all the versions of firmware ever available on thier site. Worth a try.

You want to do a FACTORY RESET, if possible.
Most times this is accomplished by pressing and holding the reset button while powering on the device.
