We recently joined up with Bigpond for a slab of 25GB a month, and we were given a 2Wire router. To connect to this router I bought a D-link Wireless G DWA-110 USB Adapter. This set up works nicely and I have one little issue. I've gone through many ways to combat, but I need some advice.
The 2Wire 2701HGV-W router resets itself, but it appears to only occur while playing Team Fortress 2.
I have installed Bandwidth Vista, to monitor the bandwidth on this computer. I know it's not this computer, due to having outgoing and incoming packets sent to/from this computer. When the router resets itself I seem to get approximately 4-8bytes incoming, a drop from the usual 4-8kb/s incoming. But, outgoing sits at it's usual 3kb/s, usuals being what TF2 uses. Downloads are about a rough 40-100kb/s (average 70kb/s) through other programs.
We have three devices connected wirelessly to the router, but I've had this issue when neither of the other two are connected and while they are connected.
Advice request:
Can I prevent the router from needing to reset?
Should I get a better router?
