My internet connection


Question Posted Sunday September 28 2008, 2:00 pm

Whenever i use the internet, my internet goes down every 10 minutes not even kidding this is what the connection says. can someone help me?

Wireless Network Connection 6 (linksys)(unsecured)
Speed: 54.0 mbps
(as im typing this my internet went down)
Signal Strength: Very Good
Status: Connected

what does unsecured mean?
this is really annoying because when im on AIM it goes down at the worst times when im having a convo with someone, or even at the best times and i have to say "sorry my internet went down, what did you say?" then theyll tell me and itll go down again. its SO annoying! please help! and i've tried to "repair" it with that option and it doesnt do anything!

Do you by chance have a dial-up internet service?
I used to have and had the same problem.
Some providers kick you off every so often.
Mine was 15 or 20 minutes and then it would disconnect me.

The only solution is to get a DSL internet
provider. Its more expensive but worth it.

OK after I wrote this I see it says you have
a wireless connection. I suppose some could
run the same as dial-ups. Call your internet
service provider and tell them about it. See
if they have a solution for you. :)

Don't worry about(Unsecured) It means that you can log in to the internet without a password..so nothing to worry about, And about that your connection goes down, try to turn off your modem and your router every once in a while for few minutes or so and then turn it on again. And even with that if the problem still exists, I think you should buy a new modem.

I hope it will work for you..Good Luck
