Need help with dropping connection

[PUN]

Linksys WRT610N

I currently have:
PC, VOIP phone, 2 Wifi Laptops connected to this router.

Whenever I connect my PC through CAT5, the router keeps resetting and I am unable to connect. I tried disabling VOIP and 2 Wifi; tried different Port, but still no connection.
I tried Hard reset, soft reset, PC reboot, all the drivers & firmware updated (both Ethernet and Router)

If the PC is not connected, the VOIP phone and wifi devices work great. As soon as the PC is plugged in, it resets every 10 sec.

I tried PCI Ethernet card (as I was using integrated port before), and the problem still remains.

The problem is not the cable(tried swapping), ISP, router, nor the ethernet on my PC.
Do you think it's the OS itself causing my router to reboot? My PC is due for a format but I rather not, if not neccessary.

Thanks for your help.

Try to flash the 610N (they were honest N=Not Working :hmm: )

Thanks for your response. I was actually considering this...just little worried about the unstable portion of the ddwrt for 610N, but they seem to be minor or fixed.

If this doesn't work, should I just format and reinstall Win7?

Had a similar problem with this router. If I recall, disabling uPnP in the router's setup resolved the issue.

Good luck!

I'll try that when I get home and report back. Thanks!!!!

Thanks Gsaldivar!

It seem to solve the problem. I have a steady connection so far (2hrs)

EDIT: Damn it's doing it again.
Just updated with DD-WRT, hope this works.
