Thank God!! I've managed to get the Screen with the Sidebar Tabs back! Phew! Just before you wrote there about admin for password, I have been messing around with putting in an in-correct password at login for the last half-hour or so tryin' to jump-start the bloody thing! admin wasn't working for some reason just 1234, but if ya log in any old word a couple of times as the password, it seems to remember or save it, so I had been messing about with that, and on multiple clicking with a couple of oks it saved my random words lol, but while I was trying to get into the screen with the sidebar and tabs with 1234, it was actually another word from my messing about which had become the new password! :rolleyes: So yippee can re-trace steps again now!
Ok so in Network field in wireless tab at Security Heading, ReAuthentication Timer is at 9999, - will keep with that, just gonna try changing back the Idle Timeout from 9999 to the original 3600 and see over the next couple of hours if it still dis-connects with just the 1 Timer change rather than the 2 ......0 -

happy days hope it works out for you and stops pinging out 0 -
Thats a pity, confused. Just to say I only changed the reauthentication timer to 9999. I left the idle timeout and the group key update unchanged. Another thing I did was to change the Network/NAT/Max Nat from 512 to 2048. Dunno if that would make a difference. If your wireless signal is going every 30 mins though it is hard not to see that being related to the timeout settings.
Any idea what Network/NAT/Max Nat is or does ..... 0 -

Don't think it worked, got a few time-outs this evening.
One thing I did notice was it seemed to last a bit longer lol, more like an hour rather than half-hour before it dis-connected. Has been really really un-stable and crashed loadsa times over the last couple of hours and I've loadsa stuff to do lol. Would be nice if the bloody computer worked!!:D:rolleyes:
No time at the mo. to do anymore with it for now, but just wanted to check, when I go in and edit the Seconds Timer, I'm not exactly sure if it saves the change, I think it stays the same. And I'm not sure if I'm editing the Timer the right way ..... I get into the Settings Page by the Advanced Setup Wizard, but I don't actually set-up the Wizard, I just go into the Settings menu along the way so maybe that's why the new Seconds time isn't saving when I don't even have the Wizard set-up. I don't know. Will look at it again later.0 -

Okay back again! Have noticed over the last day or two, that I'm getting 2hours 44minutes of time before it dis-connects with the Re-authentication time at 9999, it dis-connects every 2hours and 44 minutes, much better though compared to every half-hour lol, and that's with the Setting changed from 1800 to 9999. So now I just need to find out what to change the 9999 to in order to give me a full 24 hours of connectivity lol! 0

Try deleting the 9999 and leaving it blank.0 -

Nearly 3 hours though is much better that every half hour so that's something.
What about 0000? I agree, though, nearly three hours is a decent amount of time compared to half an hour. There probably is some better technical solution out there.0 -
No it won't accept 0000 as a time. Well I must be "onto something," I must be near cracking the code lol when it has changed the time-out from half-hour to 2hours44minutes, it's just to get it right now, to perfect it I guess to give me 24 hours-worth of connectivity lol.
I wonder would changing that other Setting the NAT setting do anything .... Did you change it from 512 to 2048? I don't know much about these things though, so am afraid it will alter use of the Modem and affect use of others in the house.0 -

Yeah I did change the NAT setting but really I can't advise you on that.0 -

I'm sure you know your stuff like. Please don't take offence. Butttt thing is it works perfectly on other Laptop in same house and doesn't dis-connect at all. So like wouldn't this suggest the Router is working perfectly (in my case,) just not on my Lappie. It's such a mystery. I wish I knew more about computers that I could test things and know what I was at.
Well it's not my Router to change and get a new one anyway, but maybe some-one else that has Windows Vista and Perlico/XyZel Router, and maybe I could see what they have those Settings at.
Grrrr this ZyXel beginning to drive me bonkers now, I can't even get into its' Firmware to download the bloody zip file. Drivin' me insane here. Sure if I go into something to open the .rom file (the other 2 thingys are vlc videos or some crap that I can't open either,) it lists "recommended programs" to download my .rom file, but all they seem to be are crap about scanning my files for infections and do I want to pay to scan my file .....0 -
