XAV5501 problem after PC standby
Hi, I've just bought a XAVB5501 pack, with 2x XAV5501. I plugged one near my cablebox, and the other one in my bedroom to a Desktop PC (let give the name PC1, that runs Seven 64x). It works fine, c...
Likewise, I have new XAV5501 adaptors, and am losing connectivity at the rate of about 2 days from 3 spent in downtime because of them. They XAV wakes up when the PC wakes up, but then it cannot find the connection (unidentified network). it fails to again pick up the IP configuration. Take today as an example, from the very first time I booted the PC, the LAN card was fine and awake, the XAV also awake and attempting to connect. But it fails to find the right IP configuration. Ai am running Win 7. TCP/IP6 and TCP/IP4 are both set to automatic. While this is happening, the Netgear Utility only sees the adaptor at the PC, not at the router end. So I have rebooted PC, adaptors, router etc a hundred times and, still, no connection,.
This is driving me to distraction. I cannot find anything in the XAV5501 installation guide or user manual that says anything other than 'after 5 minutes' it should refresh. Well, it mostly doesn't. Once every couple of days it magically does find the right configuration and runs like a dream. Until next time the PC is switched off or goes into standby. :mad:
Help!? :confused:
