Hi there, again... :O
So I just powered up my computer and I started getting the same "network cable unplugged"
error... This time it was really bad.. the router lights could be seen cycling on
and off as if the router was rebooting itself and trying over and over... I even
tried pulling the power on the router and it still kept happening! The only way I
was able to stop the problem was to move my wired connection to port #2 on my router
(router has 4 wired ports). After I switched to port number 2, the problem immediately
went away and, so far, it has stayed away..
So, it looks like all the remedy items I've discussed here are not fixes... Its seems
more and more to me like it is a flakey router... Mine is still under the 30 day
return policy so I am going to take it back and exchange for a new one. Dont know
if Ill get the same kind or change once again to something new...
Starting to run out of options...
:)
