D-Link router problem... by roflmao456 on 09-23-2007 at 05:43 PM
My dlink router seems to be using the internet for nothing,
even if this computer and my dad's laptop are off, the WAN keeps flashing and the activity light on my modem is flashing too..
when i connect it directly to this computer, it doesnt seem to flash anymore (or flashes every 10 seconds)

Go into your gateway, check network activity?

nothing
the log shows some
Xmas port scan attack from [ip] detected 
it doesn't come up often..
no one is using the internet.. the connection is idle but WAN is blinking and sucking up my bandwidth
edit: hmm, i checked the statistics page and it seems to be receiving packets much more than sending them

It's probably just "internet background radiation" - unsolicited packets arriving at your network.
My cable modem and router activity lights flash constantly too, even when I'm sure nothing is using the internet. The router, acting as a firewall, simply drops that junk.

it drops my connection sometimes

How do you know that is to blame? There will always be activity. You might just have a crap line =p

It might be the encryption... sometimes the connections acts a little bit weird with some encriptions. Disable for some moments the encription and browse and see how it goes....

D-link products are shit. I tried to give mine away, but no one would take it.

It did actually. What i meant by that statement was that D-link products are crap and are always having problems and i think you should get rid of the junk instead of trying to fix it. My d-link router had a problem i even sent it back to them to fix it. They could not even fix it.
