Troubleshooting web timeouts with a Belkin router

"It would be worth checking those settings on your isp website since there is some variation from ISP to ISP. The fact that it started when you got the new router however suggests that perhaps the new router cannot cope with some of the demands that you're placing on it. One thing that particularly stresses routers is P2P file sharing since it tends to make lots of simultaneous connections. If you run any P2P software including TV download services (like BBC iplayer in the UK) try shutting them down rebooting the router and seeing if your still getting time outs.

If that helps it might be worth changing the DNS settings on your PC to use OpenDNS or your ISPs DNS servers since the default is to use the inbuilt one of the router and this can cause problems."

"I had the same issue, my network died every 10 minutes. When I plugged a computer directly in the wall it worked fine.
The problem was that my router held an ipaddress from my ISP for too long, which according to Belkin is normal:

This addresses a common scenario where the router has been connected to the
Internet for an extended period and holds an IP address (DHCP lease) for a
longer period of time than your Internet Service Provider (ISP) allows.

This is normal and does not indicate any issue with your Belkin router or ISP.

I solved it by resetting the router to its default settings (as described by Belkin)"
