Your router may have the option to make a backup of your current settings to a file that you can save and then use to restore the next time that you have to do a reset. Look for a backup option in "maintenace" or "management" in the router interface. This would save time and hassle in future.

Hi, It is the direct link to the site. Is not?
If you are having dynamic ip address, then this is ok.
But if you have static ip, then would it not be pinpointing  your ip. Please, if it is static ip, then anybody could use this . Pl clarify. I had not sent the details, even though it is dynamic.
 Whenever you log in , you will find new .
Another question: the settings in the router is not that i typed. like the 5 points in ip4 configurations. But when i do not get the internet access, when i call the help desk, i am given some other 5 access points address, which is not found in the router. It is entirely different, but i am getting access.
                   Is it not that these two are different and getting the access. Pl clarify. If Boggin things, he could just take out the link, giving his internet results.
edit: I set ip4 to auto detect internet and also dns server in present settings.
          Still, the internet light first gives red, and after troubleshooting is done, giving the access.

Hi, Boggins Yes checked on this computer
If i plug in after restart , the first time, i got the same ip address
on second attempt after some more minutes, it gives the different ips. I checked with pcwintools site as well as in your link.
               While sometime, i get all the lights blinking, sometimes, i get the internet light red on clicking troubleshooting, internet light also starts glowing, and troubleshooter ends with no problem screen.

Hi, Boggins,
                 so there is no chance of saving the settings from the link. If you copy the link location, you could view the things of result.
                  I will check the result with the changed ip and try to give the  changes noted if any.
Hi, samson,
                     Thanks for the tip. But going to the page and saving the thing.I want to know that i need not kind of saving the settings, after progressive bar in the maintenance tab. Is it correct.
                     I could just save the settings in which format. could i able to view on my pc in selected folder or file location.

I think you need a new router - how long have you had this one and is it still under warranty ?

My ISP - TalkTalk supplies a free router, although now you have to pay for the postage which was once free.

Their routers initially were little better than doorstops but have improved immensely and in the early days when I first signed up to them because of the instability of the connection, I bought my own router.

Do you have an alternate Internet provider who has better facilities.

Are you using wireless or Ethernet as that Realtek that you listed is an Ethernet adapter.

The results for Netalyzr just come up when its tests are complete, but I've never run it on just wired - I'll give it a go and get back to you on that as I'll need to allow Java in browsers which requires a restart of the browser to effect.

I can still view my Netalyzr results by clicking on my link.
