So you only have one computer using it now? One cable going into it from the DSL, and only wireless for all your units?

We have our router hooked by cable to 2 units. And two units to use the wireless. I thought you had a similar arrangement?

If your picture is accurate....it is a NetGear. (I did not like NetGear at all).

If you get the name and model number, Kevin says he can try to look it up.

I'm stumped with the Wifi/router being part of shut down issue and that connects into the modem... so maybe the router or the modem??

maybe something to test ?? - If you can do a test by plugging in with a cable -temporarily to the modem only , and not use the router at all - to see if the normal shut down works that way - that would most likely point to a router problem.

and if it has the same shut down problem then a closer look at some heavy duty scanners and maybe doing a "hijack this" log.

but hopefully mrsD's son has tips for the running processes investigation.

but some trojans can make the computers do weird things like stay online and restart...


My set up is phone jack to modem to D link wireless router & the signal goes out to wifi card in the
computers.

Yes....at the moment there's only the one computer in use (the laptop), but I will have the desktop up and running later for hubby to use. Also when my DD was here, she was able to log into her own laptop (wirelessly) as well.

There are no cables attached. There are 4 Ethanet ports on the router, but I'm using the Wi-Fi so none of those ports are in use at the moment. The only things plugged into the router are the electricity cord and the phone cord.

No it's not a NetGear router. I didn't have a photo of mine at the time, so I used that picture as an example because it looked similar. Mine is a Thomson TG782T. Here's a link to their TG585.....the first one looks the same as mine: http://www.thomson.net/GlobalEnglish...s/default.aspx
