I wonder if anyone can suggest why my router gets disconnected roughly the same time every day as per the log stats of my router below, then immediately reconnects:
Sun, 2009-07-12 07:20:47 - LCP down.
Sun, 2009-07-12 07:20:56 - Initialize LCP.
Sun, 2009-07-12 07:20:56 - LCP is allowed to come up.
Mon, 2009-07-13 07:21:58 - LCP down.
Mon, 2009-07-13 07:22:05 - Initialize LCP.
Mon, 2009-07-13 07:22:05 - LCP is allowed to come up.
(I would have more stats for proof, but I turn my router off when I leave the house). I have noticed it happening for the past week or so, but only linked it today, to a specific time of 07:20am roughly each morning
It never used to do it, and as far as I know, I haven't changed any settings. The rest of the time the signal is rock solid.
I don't have any other equipment on the line except a dect cordless phone in another room. My Sky+ box is not connected to the line and I don't have any equipment that switches on or off at this time.
Any ideas?
If it's at a regular time, I'd be looking initially at the prospect of any electrical equipment on a timer, eg immersion heater. It may not, of course, be in your house, but along the line somewhere, eg a factory starting up.
There's definitely no equipment/boiler etc in my house that starts up on a timer at 07:20am each day.
I do however live on the Stratford exchange in east London, which is close to the Olympic development/Eurostar line, maybe that is the time they power something up.
So I'm guessing there is not anything I can do?
Try a different router that might hang on better? It's about the only thing I can think of in this sort of situation. Netgears aren't brilliant, in my experience, at holding the line, so it might be worth trying a 2700.
thanks
The other thing you could do is run Routerstats and see what's happening to the NM at that time of day.
It could be a time switch in another house that is on the electrical phase causing the problem, but hopefully not.
