I have an EA2700 router on a Comcast cable connection. The cable signal runs through a Surfboard sb6121 cable modem, to the EA270, and to my desktop (Windows 7 with Firefox (latest version) and Norton Internet Security) by wired LAN. I use Linksys SmartWiFi without cloud connect (rolled back a few months ago).
My problem is that I INTERMITTENTLY lose internet connectivity. It isn't due to Comcast or my modem, since when I bypass the router and connect my desktop directly to the modem, it works fine. Also, when this happens I am still able to print wirelessly over my home network. It's just the internet that won't work. I tried hard and soft resets of the modem (including 30-30-30 reset), router, and rebooted the computer. Repeatedly. Nothing works EXCEPT to unplug everything overnight. When I power up in the morning, it works just fine.
Other details: I have 11 devices on the wireless network, use DHCP reservations for each, and limit the number of allowed addresses (for devices) to 12. Guest account is enabled. I keep my software up to date.
This is extremely frustrating. I am ready to buy a new router and even though I like the feature set of the Linksys offerings, I am wary of buying their products again due to these problems. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance.
