I'm using an internet cable (cable is fine). Modem is product of Telewell's (TW-EA510v3(v)) and is basically brand new. Had similar problems with last modem which got sent back to the manufacturer. This all started last summer when our house got hit by lightning. According to the operator (Finnish operator btw), connection has been fine, but no one hasn't come to check it personally yet. Any suggestions what could cause this? Any solutions? I'm pretty sure i'll ask the operator send a technician to check the line at some point. If i can give any info to help to solve the problem, feel free to ask. I have no idea where to start though. | ||

For me, the wifi router makes the modem's connection unstable, while it's fine with 2 meter space between them. I think I also remember once having weird behavior with a power cable running by some network cable. Hold on now, i didn't quite understand what you are trying to suggest here. Care to elaborate a bit? The modem is in my room, connected to my PC by cable and one or two machines via WLAN. So are you suggesting that i should move it some place else?

Usually just stops for a second and starts to work again. Streams turn off everytime this happens for example. Modem also restarted/booted itself few months ago fairly often. But after changing an option, it just started to do this instead of booting. I'm using an internet cable (cable is fine). Modem is product of Telewell's (TW-EA510v3(v)) and is basically brand new.

Unfortunately there could be about a billion reasons =D I had issues similar to yours where it randomly goes out while using it, and after several months, 10+ modem exchanges, 5 tech visits, they finally figured out it was because the signal being sent to my house was too powerful(w/e, I didn't really believe it, but since they reduced it a bit from the box at the pole by my house it hasn't gone out in 2 months which ironically I kept telling them their wasn't anything wrong with my equipment since I am a network specialist and that it was an issue with the signal in the line somewhere which just proved my point lol). I would call your cable company and see if they can run some diagnostics on their end(don't be surprised if they say everything is fine, because i called my company multiple times and they kept saying everything was fine on their end and that I had service yet I couldn't pull up google or another website to save my life on any device in my house using their connection.) That also said, if you know how to get into your router(if not google it, should be some walk throughs) see if it has a log and see when it is disconnecting and if it is during doing something network intensive. There should be an error code of some sort.(which again may or may not help, as my logs just showed a general disconnection error whenever I'd do something really intensive and it'd go out.) From there I would exchange it out once and if the problem persists have someone come out and take a look for you, as it is probably above your tech level to troubleshoot. | ||

You won't have my problem, as your device is surely built to be totally safe from whatever the wlan half does to the dsl modem half, but perhaps you have something else that does something bad to the dsl connection beside the modem. It could be something super simple that fixes it like it is for me, moving it from the ground to the top of a cupboard, etc. For me, I have two devices. The modem is separate from the wlan router. I can't put them side by side or the modem drops connection and will run the dsl line with only half the normal speed after a reset. Simply putting the wlan router on top of a shelf and the modem on the ground is enough to solve that. | ||

My modem could broadcast a wireless signal though a very weak one. It's probably part of the switch to modem router combos. Signal interference or whatnot. | ||

Try changing to WEP and see if you can connect with password. Try a different wireless adapter. After like a day and a half of messing around I got it. I tried disabling everything and only doing MAC filtering to no avail. Changing the types of authentication needed and none of that work. Eventually ran through like 6 different drivers and finally got it to work. It's weird because the driver that makes it work correctly isn't even for my adapter. The adapter is a linksys WUSB600N but a very old version of it. Anyhow, thanks for the help. | ||

Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I'm pretty sure everything is connected properly, and I've tried switching in the realtek drivers between stereo and 5.1 when I switch from speakers to headphone, but it still doesn't work. | ||

 Can someone coincidentally recommend, which things i should look for, when i'm at cebit at saturday? And does somebody know if there are exhibitor where i can try out newest 3D technology? It was a short term decision to go in the end, so i have the feeling, if i would try to look up all the cool things, i won't be very sucessful/productive. | ||

THanks a lot everyone It looks like TL streams are using flash and the S3 does not come natively with flash. There is an app called flash player 12 on the google web store that guides you through the installation of flash. (it only gives you instructions) Flash was removed from the google store for a reason though, and there's a reason new phones don't come with it. It's just not good for anything to have a monopoly over video like that. Also the app has some bloatware that goes away when you uninstall it. And Flash will not work on the chrome browser, so if you do get it to work, it'll only work on the android browser. I haven't tried using flash and TL streams, but gl. I recommend instead that you try to watch streams on twitch until TL develops an app for streams. | ||
