Linksys Resetting - Cable Firewall/Router
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: gperry
I have a Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL Firewall Router (BEFSX41) with Adelphia Cable as my ISP. When I transfer large files, the router resets itself and stops the transfer. It comes back online quickly, faster than a full reboot. All the drivers are up to date and neither Linksys or Adelphia have been any help.
Thanks,
Gage

Has this always happened?
How big are the files you're trying to transfer?
You could be maxing out your upload thereby causing your modem to reboot or time out. If you're not sure your upload cap, call your ISP and find out. Also you could call your ISP and ask them to monitor (ping) your system while you do a transfer and find out what they see.

How large is the file? ISPs can sometimes be pretty stingy about your upload limit if you don't have a busnisnes connection. You could also try to ping the upload site yourself with the command prompt while you transfer. Go to Start > Run... > type cmd > hit enter. The command prompt should come up. type ping [adress here] and hit enter. The "adress here" is where you put the upload adress, so to ping Google, type ping www.google.com. Also, what FTP client are you using? Internet Explorer can't uplaod anything more than 5 MB, so try another one. FileZilla works great, and its free. http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/

I have been able to email the the largest files, it's slow but they go. Most of the files are between 600k to 1000k. I'm uploading pictures and files directly to a yahoo group, no FTP.

Files of those sizes shouldn't be a problem (I had trouble uploading a file once, but it was 18 MB). Yahoo should have info for people who want to use FTP for file transfer, so try FileZilla.

Try lowering the MTU setting to 1452 it should be in the configuration page of your router.Open internet explorer or firefox then type in 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.
