Belkin

[zuratai]

I just got a belkin router and hooked it up i started to play games and it will freeze and say networking problem for like a second then go away it will do this randomly... can anyone tell me why? i Did connection tester with speedconnect and it says i get 3000kb with a perfect connection and it says that 50 percent of my connection is 0 kb half of the time? I have 5 bars all the time. I read somewhere that a you should be connected to a belkin with a static ip or it will disconnect you for a couple of seconds randomly and reconnect??

I have a 3mbps broadband  connection and iam up stairs while the router is downstairs . the game iam playing is Counter strike source and i have Windows Xp with 4gigs of ram nividia 9800gt graphic card

I assume, this is wireless connection, right?
Laptop, or desktop?
How many other computers are connected to the router? Wired, or wireless?
Any problems with other computers?

[zuratai]

1 computers is connected with Wi-Fi and 1 connected wired. There is no problem with the computer that i know of

YOUR computer is laptop, or desktop? Wireless connection?

DHCP (depending on what it is distributed by) will disconnect and reassign an ip address (aka DHCP Lease Time). Set up a Static IP and you should not have this problem or increase the Lease Time. Good Luck!

Ok it costs like 15 more dollars a month for me to setup a static ip how do i increase Lease time. ALso my computer is a desktop.
